The tender, part of an open procedure above threshold, is currently at the active stage with a tender period ending on October 20, 2022. The contract period is scheduled to start from November 21, 2022, until September 30, 2023, aiming for equipment commissioning by the beginning of Q3 2023 at the NCC site in Bristol. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses interested in goods manufacturing, particularly in the field of composites and emerging manufacturing technologies, to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this tender, which is funded by Innovate UK. Interested parties can register and submit tenders through the University of Bristol's Tender Opportunity Portal. Successful bidders will have the opportunity to contribute to industrial research and development programs while enhancing the UK's industrial output through innovative manufacturing solutions. ## Notice The NCC is an independent, open-access national centre that delivers world-class innovation in the design and manufacture of composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation. The National Composites Centre (NCC) intends to procure automated tape winding capability for fully bonded pipes manufacturing. Such equipment must be able to process unidirectional thermoplastic tapes via in-situ consolidation process to manufacture pipe prototypes with inner diameters in the order of 5cm to 20cm and lengths up to 2 meters. The acquired capability will extend the current state of the art, which is of value and relevance to both industrial stakeholders and overall, UK industrial output. The capability shall be specified, procured and commissioned to ensure suitability for industrial research and development programs as well as supporting maturation of emerging manufacturing technologies from academia toward industrial application. This project is funded by Innovate UK. The target commissioning date for the equipment is beginning Q3 2023, at NCC site. The operation and specified functionality of the equipment will be demonstrated based on the target application component(s) during FAT and SAT. The NCC will not meet any costs incurred by any party in responding to this notice or by participating in the tender. The NCC reserves the right to award all, none, or part of the business.
