This procurement, classified under workshop equipment (CPV code 43800000), follows an open tender procedure that concluded on 7 June 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 31 July 2017 and will run until 30 July 2018, with a total contract value of £44,480. The location of the project is in Southampton, United Kingdom. This contract represents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the manufacturing and engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in advanced machinery and workshop equipment. Companies that can provide integrated solutions, including user training and compatible software with industry standards like AutoCAD and CorelDRAW, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Additionally, this project will support research and entrepreneurial initiatives, fostering collaboration across university campuses, which may lead to further procurement opportunities in innovative applications and bespoke manufacturing services. ## Notice This is a tender for the supply, delivery, commissioning and user training of Dual purpose laser cutter capable of plastic cutting and metal cutting. This machine will be integrated into current facilities available in the Electronics and Computer Science Department (located within the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering, at the Highfield Campus in Southampton). It will be used to expand the breadth of machining capabilities and technologies currently at the University and stimulate new research ties across multiple University campuses. The acquisition of this new machine will further engender new collaborative research across the University and will enable University researchers to tackle fundamental problems across any discipline where manufactured components may be required in order to conduct experiments or technical analysis. In addition with the merging Enterprise community within the Faculty is will enable bespoke manufacturing to support and increase Faculty led entrepreneurial activities. The Purpose of the Equipment To support research, education and enterprise activities within the Electronics and Computer Science department based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences. It will enable rapid turnaround "in house' of components for students, academics and researchers. The dual purpose nature of the cutter will provide a greater breadth of materials that can be used in the production of components for new developments and their applications. Primary Hardware Supply and install a of Dual purpose laser cutter capable of plastic cutting and metal cutting This should include all the hardware necessary to extract fumes and particles as a by-product of the cutting process. Required Software Machine operation software must be compatible with industry standard design software such as AutoCad and CorelDRAW. Machine is required to at least cut metal foil. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5746d82d-624e-4ca3-9e27-20fa5cdbe947 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Jun 2017 | | Contract period | 30 Jul 2017 - 30 Jul 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £44,480 | | 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 SOUTHAMPTON | | Locality | HAMPSHIRE | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO17 1BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Portswood | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Test | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HOBARTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment ### Codes - 43800000 - Workshop equipment ## Release History - 28 Jun 2017 at 08:12 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5746d82d-624e-4ca3-9e27-20fa5cdbe947 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5746d82d-624e-4ca3-9e27-20fa5cdbe947 28th June 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
