## Summary

The University of Bath has issued a tender for a High-Performance Programmable AC Power Supply in Bath, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently active with a tender deadline of 3rd November 2023 and contract period starting from 20th November 2023 to 19th January 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure with a contract value of GBP 100,000. The power supply transformers fall under the goods category, and the University requires a power supply with specific technical specifications to characterise superconductor AC losses and battery cell.

This tender by the University of Bath presents an opportunity for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering to participate. Businesses capable of providing a high-performance programmable AC power supply within the specified parameters between 45 kVA to 75 kVA, with varying RMS current for both 1 phase and 3 phase outputs, and adjustable frequency and voltage, are well-suited to compete. The contracting authority will select tenderers based on the predetermined procurement criteria set out for the process.

## Notice

NOTE: This notice was updated on 31 October 2023 for the following reason: 10. Deadline for Expression of Interest * Amended to 10th November 2023, 14:00.(The University of Bath requires a high-performance programmable AC power supply with variable frequency to characterise superconductor AC losses and battery cell. It will also be used as a grid simulator. The researchers who will want to access this equipment work across the areas of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. The power rating of AC power supply should be between 45 kVA to 75 kVA. AC output should be capable for both 1 phase output and 3 phase output. 1 phase RMS current should be 0~270 A to 450 A and 3 phase RMS current should be 0~90A to 150 A. AC output voltage should be 0~350 V. AC output frequency should be capable from 16 Hz to 2.4 kHz.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
