This open procurement method follows EU regulations, and the tender period concluded on 5th September 2018. The awarded contract, worth approximately £715,229, is scheduled to run from 2nd November 2018 until 28th February 2019, with the project based in Rotherham, Yorkshire and the Humber, England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial machinery, particularly those involved in advanced manufacturing technologies. Companies that offer expertise in metal additive manufacturing systems or related technologies would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. The emphasis on safety features for handling reactive powders also opens pathways for businesses with innovative solutions in safe operational environments. ## Notice 1998/385/EML/DPG/18 Metal Additive Manufacturing System The University of Sheffield, Design Prototyping Group (DPG) wishes to invite tenders for the provision of a Metal Additive Manufacturing System (MAMS). Scope of Requirement The system should be capable of building complex three dimensional metal parts directly from a CAD data file through sequential addition of metal powder in layers, which is then subsequently melted. The MAMS will be used to design and manufacture prototype components for a range of applications catering to industries such as aerospace, medical, space and automotive. The MAMS must be able to process reactive powders in a safe environment either through integrated ATEX rated sieving capability (preferred) or an external closed looped sieve system (compatible with MAMS). Tender Process and Documentation: This procurement is an EU open procedure carried out in accordance with the Regulations (Public Contracts Regulations 2015).
