This procurement, classified under various CPV codes, is at the open tender stage, with submissions due by 13th May 2019. The project is set to commence on 1st June 2019 and will run until 31st December 2020, located in Sunderland, North East of England. The funding for this initiative comes from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), emphasising support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Interested parties may access tender documents through the University’s E-Portal. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in robotics, automation, and industrial machinery. Companies that can offer flexible and innovative solutions suitable for educational demonstrations and knowledge transfer to SMEs in the North East will be particularly well-positioned to compete. With its emphasis on demonstrating automated production processes, suppliers involved in advanced manufacturing technologies and equipment, as well as those catering to the needs of SMEs, are encouraged to submit proposals that align with the project's objectives. ## Notice The University has a requirement and would like to procure the following:- LOT 1: Robot Technology Demonstrator Quoted Systems Should address: o A single 6 axis robot portable self-contained demonstration cell o Capability to be run form a standard 3 pin power outlet (single phase 240V) o Contain all services required to run demonstrations LOT 2: Authority Robotic Automation Line Quoted Systems Should address: The requirement is for a multi robot automated production line that will be capable of demonstrating automated production of a product/example of the supplier's choice that requires a range of different tasks to be performed by robots at multiple cells/stations. The requirement is to supply a system that is open, flexible, SME friendly, and suitable for knowledge transfer on advanced and flexible manufacture to a range of SME manufacturers in the North East using the most common applications encountered in industry as a demonstration automated line. This is not to be a production facility but should demonstrate the assembly of a particular item of the suppliers' choice and should come equipped with adequate materials to run the line in automatic production mode for an extended period (30 minutes' production) (manual stock replenishment permitted to demonstrate other lean principles such as Kanban etc.).
