The procurement is categorised under industrial machinery and follows an open procedure, inviting broad participation. The tender period is set to end on 15th May 2018, while the contract period is scheduled to commence on 15th June 2018 and conclude on 15th June 2019. The submissions should comply with delivery requirements across multiple international locations, including the United Kingdom and other territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those involved in manufacturing or supplying scientific instrumentation. Companies specialising in materials science, industrial machinery, or any fields related to plastics, elastomers, paints, adhesives, composites, glasses, ceramics, and metals could find this tender particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they could offer innovative solutions tailored to the diverse requirements for such analytical equipment.

## Notice

The Centre for Process Innovation Ltd (CPI) requires the following; This tender is for a thermomechanical analyser (TMA) that would be capable of precisely measuring dimensional change in materials as a function of time and temperature to identify phase changes, sintering or softening for example. The instrument must be compatible with measuring a wide range of materials for instance plastics, elastomers, paints, adhesives, composites, glasses, ceramics and metals. The National Formulation Centre works across a wide range of materials from food stuffs to construction materials to microelectronics and as such requires an instrument that offers wide versatility in terms of the types of materials and format that can be analysed. The common experiments will be to determine the coefficients of thermal expansion above and below glass transitions as well as softening points or phase transitions. Please visit https://ne1procurementservices.com for further information. Additional information: We are posting this tender notice on behalf of The Centre for Process Innovation Ltd (CPI). For further information please visit the NE1 Procurement Services Ltd website - https://ne1procurementservices.com.
