## Summary

The University of Sheffield is seeking suppliers for the "Titanium Melt Stock Supply" project, classified under the goods category, specifically focusing on titanium materials. This open procurement process, which follows the open procedure above the threshold, is currently in the Award stage. The tender period concluded on 6th August 2019, while the contract was awarded on 24th September 2019, with a contract duration set from 25th September 2019 to 22nd September 2023. The materials are intended for delivery in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the supply of titanium materials and related goods, particularly those with the capability to meet stringent specifications and certifications. Companies specialising in metallurgy, aerospace components, or titanium supply chains would be particularly well-suited to compete. The ongoing relationship established through this framework will allow for ongoing business growth as the University of Sheffield continues its innovative aerospace projects.

## Notice

We are now the UK's only titanium melting facility which is large enough to produce the largest variants of aero engine intercases and other structural aerospace components. Our demands are based on the various ongoing innovative projects and work we undertake. To meet our specialist production demands we require specific titanium material from an approved supply base who are able to provide the associated specifications, assurances, certifications and lead times. The UoS wishes to establish a framework agreement with a supplier for the supply of titanium electrodes and revert materials for use within the UoS titanium vacuum arc re-melter. This agreement will allow UoS to call off titanium products from the contract when required. The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://www.in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield/ Additional information and tendering instructions can be obtained from the abovementioned address.
