This tender was published on 26 July 2022 and is currently active, with the deadline for submissions set for 24 August 2022. The intended contract period will commence on 19 September 2022 and is expected to run until 31 December 2023. This procurement falls into the goods category, specifically focusing on machine tools, aimed at replacing existing equipment to enhance engineering research and education. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the engineering and manufacturing sectors, particularly those specialising in machine tools and related technologies. Businesses equipped to deliver high-precision tools for educational institutions may find this a valuable opportunity to establish partnerships with a reputable academic organisation, thereby enhancing their visibility and capabilities in the growing field of engineering research and education, pivotal for the fourth industrial revolution. ## Notice The University of Plymouth is looking to reinforce its reputation as an innovative centre of excellence for engineering research, teaching and learning. The new Engineering and Design facility (NEDF) being constructed on the western edge of the main Plymouth campus will provide a new home for the specialist laboratories and teaching facilities of the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and the School of Art, Design and Architecture. NEDF integrates a fully refurbished Babbage Building with a new-build, wrap-around area to create more than 10,000m2 of research laboratories and teaching spaces. New, state-of-the-art resources are planned that will enable engineering teaching and research to underpin the fourth industrial revolution and complement existing equipment. The new building and its physical resources will inspire the development of new inter-disciplinary activities in teaching, learning and research, and nurture the innovative graduate engineers demanded by future society. The objective here is to replace existing equipment with tool room precision machine tools that will be operated by our team of highly-skilled engineering technicians. The tables below outline the principal requirements for these machine tools. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4177407b-2020-43ef-97b4-ba224414f0a6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Sep 2022 - 31 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH | | Locality | PLYMOUTH, DEVON | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL4 8AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Drake | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42600000 - Machine tools ## Release History - 26 Jul 2022 at 08:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4177407b-2020-43ef-97b4-ba224414f0a6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4177407b-2020-43ef-97b4-ba224414f0a6 26th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=50802&B=UNIVERSITYPLYMOUTH Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/97185 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/about-us/university-structure/service-areas/procurement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
