This public procurement process, classified under measuring and control equipment, has a total contract value of £500,000. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submission set for Wednesday, 4th September 2019 at 12:00 British Summer Time (BST), and a contract period spanning from 15th October 2019 to 31st March 2020. Interested suppliers can register their expressions of interest via the University's e-tendering portal. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs that specialise in precision measurement and control equipment. Companies with experience in the supply, delivery, installation, and after-sales support of advanced measurement technology will be well-positioned to compete. The need for high standards in gear measurement underscores the importance of suppliers with proven capabilities in supporting the research and development of sophisticated engineering projects, especially those aligned with the automotive and engineering sectors. ## Notice As part of the UKRRIN, Rolling Stock Centre Initiative, Newcastle University's Design Unit have been awarded a grant by HEFCE to design and build a bespoke, state of the art Dynamic Gearbox Test Facility including a climate chamber for testing of gearboxes and traction drives in extreme environments. There is a requirement to bench mark gearboxes and associated gear elements at the beginning and end of test programs. Gears and gearboxes require the highest standards of geometry measurement to ensure the performance interms of strength, reliability and noise is achieved. The UK National Gear Metrology Laboratory (NGML) in one of the leading gear measurement and calibration facilities worldwide. We have a requirement for a new CMM to extend our general measurement and gear inspection capacity and research activities. At present all gear related metrology work is performed on a single Gear Measuring Machine (GMM). A CMM would expand the scope of the UK National Gear Metrology Laboratory. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and installation of equipment and as detailed in the Invitation to Tender document to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance, all training necessary for safe and reliable operation of the system Expressions of interest in this project can be made by registering via the University's e-tendering portal at: https://procontract.due-north.com/Login The contract reference is NU/1520.
