## Summary

The University of Sheffield has awarded a contract for a Light Flash Thermal Diffusivity and Conductivity System, valued at £153,276. This project is part of the Sheffield Royce Institute, which is focused on advanced materials processing. The tender process was an open procurement method and the award was finalised on 22nd February 2019. The contract period runs from 4th March 2019 to 5th March 2019, and delivery is expected in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The original tender was published on 8th January 2019, with the deadline for bid submissions set for 7th February 2019.

This opportunity to provide a light flash analyser presents significant business growth potential for companies specialising in measuring instruments, particularly those focusing on thermal analysis technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing, scientific research and equipment supply sectors would be well-positioned to compete in this tender. Engaging in this contract could enhance their visibility and reputation within the advanced materials field, tapping into the broader network of the Henry Royce Institute.

## Notice

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. The Department of Materials Science & Engineering at The University of Sheffield would like to entertain bids on a light flash system to support high throughput approaches to materials characterisation via Advanced Thermal Analysis. As part of the Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Sheffield, wishes to open tender for a light flash analyser to measure the thermal diffusivity/conductivity of various materials, hence supplementing their expertise in advanced materials manufacturing. This light flash analyser is to support the materials characterisation strand of the theme.
