The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with a deadline for tender submissions set for 5th July 2019. The successful installation of the new looms must be completed by 16th September 2019, prior to the start of term. The budget for this procurement is capped at £90,000, inclusive of all associated costs, and this tender is classified under the goods category, specifically for weaving machines. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in textile equipment and educational machinery, particularly those with the capability to deliver and install equipment within a tight timeframe. Companies, especially SMEs, that offer innovative weaving solutions and efficient logistical support would be well-suited to participate in the bidding process. This project not only allows for potential financial gain but also enhances the educational facilities within the region, promoting the growing textile industry. ## Notice De Montfort University's Weave Workshop services around 400 students studying textiles construction. It has a mixture of Dobie and table looms currently has a capacity of around 25 students who are taught how to thread and operate the equipment. Students operate the equipment independently after an initial induction session. The Weave Workshop currently features eight Dobie looms which although still perfectly serviceable are not fully suited to teaching a modern weaving curriculum; the University wishes to replace these looms with new Arm Looms. The University is open to potential part-exchange or purchase and disposal of the existing Dobie looms. The most competitive pricing possible within the total budget ceiling of PS90,000 inclusive of delivery, installation and commission is sought from bidders. In order to minimise disruption, delivery, installation and commissioning of the Looms are required to take place during University break periods, the next of these being the University's Summer break, commencing July 2019. The Looms are required installed and operational by Monday 16th September 2019.
