This procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically targeting equipment classified under Industrial or laboratory furnaces and casting machines. The tender was published on 3rd August 2018, with a closing date for submissions set for 3rd September 2018 at 12.00 Noon UK time. The supplier must deliver to the Yorkshire and the Humber region, with the contract expected to commence on 30th October 2018, lasting until 31st October 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the provision of advanced manufacturing equipment, particularly those that design and supply casting machines or industrial ovens. As the procurement is open and aimed at fostering capabilities within a key national research institute, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in materials engineering and innovative equipment solutions would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this tender could lead to valuable collaboration with academic institutions and enhance the supplier's profile within the advanced materials sector. ## Notice ***TENDER CANCELLED*** The Sheffield Royce Institute is a~PS34M project based in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Sheffield is part of the national Henry Royce Institute (with the main Hub in Manchester) which aims to grow the UK world-leading research and innovation base in advanced materials science, fundamental to all industrial sectors and the national economy. The Sheffield Royce Institute focuses on Advanced Materials Processing and will be delivered through two centres - the Royce Discovery Centre (RDC) and the Royce Translational Centre (RTC). These state of the art facilities will allow materials discovery, materials manufacturing and prototype production and will act as an open access centre of excellence for the UK. As part of the Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials, the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at The University of Sheffield would like to purchase a small-scale strip caster with the capacity to melt up to about 100g of various metals and alloys and to produce width of ribbons up to 20mm. This small-scale strip caster is to support the materials discovery strand of the Henry Royce theme.
