This initiative is part of a £34 million project under the Sheffield Royce Institute, focusing on advanced materials science. The tender is classified under the CPV code 38400000, which pertains to instruments for checking physical characteristics. The tender period concluded on 4th February 2019, and the contract is set to commence on 4th March 2019, with delivery expected by 5th March 2019. The regional delivery address is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in high-precision measurement instruments and materials characterisation technologies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in advanced thermal analysis equipment and those that can provide high-resolution dilatometers would be well-suited to participate in this competitive process. Suppliers looking to grow their market presence in the advanced materials sector should consider engaging with this opportunity at the University of Sheffield. ## 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 dilatometer 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 dilatometer with high sensitivity, high resolution to investigate thermal behaviour, hence processing parameters or sintering kinetics of materials, hence supplementing their expertise in advanced materials manufacturing. This dilatometer is to support the materials characterisation strand of the theme Additional information: All tender documents can be accessed at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c73ecc77-3267-43ef-9ccf-2888530e07df | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Feb 2019 | | Contract period | 27 Feb 2019 - 28 Feb 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £38,825 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S10 2TN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | Broomhill and Sharrow Vale | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NETZSCH GERÄTEBAU | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38400000 - Instruments for checking physical characteristics ## Release History - 25 Feb 2019 at 09:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c73ecc77-3267-43ef-9ccf-2888530e07df - 9 Jan 2019 at 08:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6f9ee32d-8888-4faa-b342-33a5d33b1409 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c73ecc77-3267-43ef-9ccf-2888530e07df 25th February 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6f9ee32d-8888-4faa-b342-33a5d33b1409 9th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield All documents can be accessed at: ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
