This project involves the design, manufacture, installation, and commissioning of a testing facility that will assess the mechanical properties of materials at high temperatures. Identified under the "Machines and apparatus for testing and measuring" category, this tender is classified as open procurement and is set to conclude on 31st May 2018, with the potential contract period extending from 29th June 2018 to 31st March 2020. The project specifically aims to facilitate research as part of the UKCRIC National Centre for Infrastructure Materials, in collaboration with Imperial College London and the University of Leeds. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in testing equipment and materials engineering. Aside from manufacturers of testing apparatus, firms offering design and engineering services, as well as installation and commissioning of technical facilities, would find themselves well-positioned to compete for this contract. Companies with experience in high-temperature applications and materials testing should strongly consider participating, as the successful contractor will play a crucial role in advancing infrastructure research capabilities within the UK. ## Notice The University wishes to appoint a Contractor or Contractors to supply a High Temperature Multidimensional Testing Facility. This project is to design, manufacture, install and commission a multi-axial compression and tensile testing facility to test material mechanical properties at high temperatures. This testing facility forms part of the UKCRIC (UK Collaboratorium for Research in Infrastructure and Cities) National Centre for Infrastructure Materials (NCIM). UKCRIC NCIM consists of three partners: the University of Manchester, Imperial College London and University of Leeds. The testing facility for this tender will be installed at the University of Manchester.
