The contract, valued at approximately £150,000, aims to enhance research and development in the manufacture of fibre reinforced plastic components. The tender submission deadline is 25th August 2022, with an expected contract commencement on 5th September 2022, culminating in completion by 1st March 2023. This procurement falls under the miscellaneous general and special-purpose machinery category. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in machinery design, manufacturing, and technological innovation, especially those focused on composites and advanced materials. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as they may bring innovative solutions tailored to the requirements of the NCC. Companies with expertise in industrial research and development or those specialising in fibre reinforced plastic technologies would be well-suited to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice The NCC is an independent, open-access national centre that delivers world-class innovation in the design and manufacture of composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation. The NCC intends to procure a filament winding capability for use in research and development in the manufacture of fibre reinforced plastic components, such as tanks and pressure vessels up to approximately 1000mm in length and 400mm in diameter. The acquired capability will extend the current state of the art, which is of value and relevance to both industrial stakeholders and overall, UK industrial output. The capability shall be specified, procured and commissioned to ensure suitability for industrial research and development programs as well as supporting maturation of emerging manufacturing technologies from academia toward industrial application. This project is funded by Innovate UK. The target commissioning date for the equipment is beginning Q1 2023, at NCC site. The operation and specified functionality of the equipment will be demonstrated based on the target application component(s) during FAT and SAT. The NCC will not meet any costs incurred by any party in responding to this notice or by participating in the tender. The NCC reserves the right to award all, none, or part of the business.
