This tender is part of an initiative aimed at establishing a centre for sustainable packaging within the food and drink sector, with a total value of £170,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, conducted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The deadline for submitting tenders is 3rd March 2020, and successful bids will initiate a contract period starting from 1st April 2020 to 30th April 2020. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial machinery, particularly those with expertise in 3D printing technologies. Companies capable of offering long-term support and maintenance for advanced manufacturing equipment would be well suited to compete. Suppliers with innovative solutions in polymer materials and sustainable manufacturing processes may find this tender especially relevant, as the AMRC aims to foster technology innovation in the sector. ## Notice 2494/005/CW/CYMRU/20 Polymer Material Jetting 3D Printer The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Polymer Material Jetting 3D Printer on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Wales), Chester Road, Bretton, CH4 0DH. Scope of Requirement: The AMRC Cyrmu site has been awarded grant funding to setup a centre for Sustainable packaging within the food and drink sector. The deliverables of this project are to create facilities to enable the development of new processes and facilitate innovative smart designs. Polymer material jetting 3D printing technology has been identified to fulfil the requirements as it potentially allows for the printing of multi-material and multi-colour parts including transparent materials. Through mixing of material graded materials with different mechanical properties can be produced. Furthermore this technology will be used to create casting patterns and tools for batch injection moulding. This specification is aimed at purchasing equipment for use in the AMRC Wales research applications. It is expected that suppliers will provide long term support for the equipment including application engineering, programming and software upgrades. The purchase of the technology also keeps with the ethos of putting the AMRC at the forefront of technology innovation within the manufacturing sector.
