## Summary

The University of Sheffield is conducting a tender to procure two Powder Atomisers, targeting the Laboratory, optical and precision equipment industry. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with a contract amounting to £13 million. The tender was published on 30th January 2017, with a submission deadline of 27th February 2017. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, covering two lots—one for a gas atomisation system and the other for a Vacuum Induction gas atomisation system—intended for use in advanced powder processes at their Sheffield location in Yorkshire and the Humber.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the manufacturing of high-quality laboratory equipment, particularly those specialising in gas and vacuum atomisation technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capacity to provide modular systems or bespoke atomisers would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the scale of the budget and the technological requirements outlined, this is a prime opportunity for firms looking to expand their reach in the scientific and engineering sectors.

## Notice

The University of Sheffield department of Materials Science and Engineering are to purchase two Powder Atomisers through this tender exercise as two separate lots: Lot 1: We are looking to procure a gas atomisation system that will produce high quality spherical powder from reactive materials for atomisation research purposes and for material manufacture for use in advanced powder processes. Lot 2: We are looking to procure a Vacuum Induction gas atomisation system that will produce high quality spherical powder from a variety of materials for atomisation research purposes and for material manufacture for use in advanced powder processes. We are seeking a tender response which covers both of the sets of requirements above. This may be in the form of a modular single system or two different atomisers at the discretion of the supplier.
