## Summary

The University of Sheffield is seeking tenders for the procurement of a Robot Welding Cell, valued at £80,000. This equipment, which falls under the electric welding equipment and industrial robots categories, will be utilised for MIG/MAG and TIG welding applications. The tender period is open until 31 July 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 2 September 2019 and run until 1 September 2020. Located in Rotherham, Yorkshire and the Humber, the procurement follows an open procedure as part of their initiative to enhance capabilities in welding projects.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in manufacturing and supplying welding equipment and robotic technologies. Companies with expertise in integrating robotic systems and welding solutions would be particularly well-suited to submit competitive bids and potentially secure a contract with the University of Sheffield, aiding in their growth and market expansion.

## Notice

The AMRC require equipment for a robotic welding cell that will be used for various welding applications (MIG/MAG & TIG) that will provide capabilities for welding projects. Currently IMG do not have robot welding capability and this will be useful for future projects. The AMRC require the supply and integration of MIG/MAG & TIG welding power sources onto an existing 6 axis articulated robot (ABB IRB 4600).
