## Summary

The University of Sheffield has recently completed a public procurement process for the purchase of a Hermle C52UMT 5 Axis Vertical Machining Centre, valued at £717,260. The procurement falls under the machine tools category, specifically those operated by laser and machining centres. This tender was initiated through a single-source authorisation method, with the formal contract period running from 23rd November 2018 to 31st January 2019. The delivery will take place in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, specifically at the AMRC with Boeing facility in Rotherham.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for companies involved in manufacturing and supplying advanced machinery, particularly those specialising in machining centres and associated technology. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in laser-operated machine tools and have the capacity to support the University of Sheffield's ongoing projects would be well-positioned to compete. As the contract to GEO Kingsbury Machine Tools Limited is active, any future related tenders may open further avenues for growth in this sector.
