The new Engineering and Design facility (NEDF) being constructed on the western edge of the main Plymouth campus will provide a new home for the specialist laboratories and teaching facilities of the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and the School of Art, Design and Architecture. NEDF integrates a fully refurbished Babbage Building with a new-build, wrap-around area to create more than 10,000m2 of research laboratories and teaching spaces. New, state-of-the-art resources are planned that will enable engineering teaching and research to underpin the fourth industrial revolution and complement existing equipment. The new building and its physical resources will inspire the development of new inter-disciplinary activities in teaching, learning and research, and nurture the innovative graduate engineers demanded by future society. The objective here is to create a new machining facility that can be used and operated by our engineering students. To this end, we wish to install a suite of CNC lathes and mills designed specifically for educational and training contexts that are fully integrated with easy-to-use CADCAM software tools. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7b8942f-07b4-4f93-988d-c7d4a8c87922 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Oct 2022 | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2022 - 31 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £147,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH | | Locality | PLYMOUTH, DEVON | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL4 8AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Drake | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BOXFORD HOLDINGS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42621100 - CNC lathe ## Release History - 9 Nov 2022 at 16:34 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7b8942f-07b4-4f93-988d-c7d4a8c87922 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f7b8942f-07b4-4f93-988d-c7d4a8c87922 9th November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=50798&B=UNIVERSITYPLYMOUTH Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/97185 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/about-us/university-structure/service-areas/procurement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
