The University of the West of England (UWE) is currently engaged in an open tender process for the acquisition of an Industry 4.0 Cyber-Physical Factory system. This procurement is classified under electronic, electromechanical, and electrotechnical supplies, and it encompasses the provision of an integrated system with up to eight stations, including a fully automated guided vehicle for transportation. The tender period ends on 29th May 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 2nd November 2020 and conclude on 1st November 2022. Interested parties should note that the estimated value of the contract ranges from £150,000 to £200,000, and all proposals must be submitted via the In Tend portal.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in smart manufacturing solutions, automation technologies, and digital twin modelling. Companies that have demonstrable experience in delivering integrated systems to higher education institutions, particularly those that can showcase successful case studies, would be well-positioned to compete. This initiative not only fosters collaboration in advancing educational capabilities but also enables suppliers to innovate and expand their presence in the rapidly evolving Industry 4.0 landscape.

## Notice

The University requires an Industry 4.0 Cyber-Physical Systemy with the integration of up to 8 stations. The system needs to include a fully integrated automated guided vehicle (AGV) for transportation, hence enabling the 8 station system to be split up into two islands of 4 stations if required. The full system should be supplied by a single supplier who can demonstrate recent case studies of similar integrated systems within other higher education institutions. The supplier must demonstrate that the system has already been developed to facilitate digital twin modelling on industry standard software platforms.
