This opportunity falls under the category of goods, specifically industrial or laboratory furnaces, with a tender period concluding on 5th June 2017. The contract is anticipated to commence on 30th June 2017 and will run until 31st July 2017. The procurement is being conducted via an open procedure, allowing a wide range of bidders to participate. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial machinery and scientific equipment to expand their market reach and capabilities. Companies involved in advanced testing systems, thermal management, and automated machinery development will find this tender particularly relevant. By engaging in this procurement, these businesses can potentially establish a long-term partnership with a leading educational institution and contribute to groundbreaking research initiatives within the UK. ## Notice The University of Manchester plans to purchase a bespoke thermal cycling rig using water steam atmosphere at ambient pressure. The water vapour oxidation system needs to be able to test 18-24 off 25 mm by 25 mm test pieces at a time in a horizontal automated cyclic furnace with controlled water vapour (steam) in air environments. The high-temperature cycles are typically 1 hour at 1250degC-1350degC followed by 30 min cooling in air. The system should be capable of recording the key parameters of the test and monitoring the cool down of the specimens. The University of Manchester will be home to a new national research and innovation centre in advanced materials, the Sir Henry Royce Institute (SHRI). Partners, comprise the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College London, along with National Nuclear Labs (NNL) and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE).
