This procurement is in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 10th May 2017. The centre will be located at the University’s Markeaton Street site in Derby, East Midlands, and aims to facilitate real-world learning by integrating teaching space with bespoke engineering and computing infrastructure. The contract is expected to commence on 8th June 2017 and conclude by 31st July 2017, responding to the requirement for equipment readiness at the beginning of the 2017/2018 academic year. This tender falls under the category of goods related to laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and precision equipment, particularly those that provide testing and analytical instruments relevant to the fields of science and engineering. Suppliers of dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermomechanical analysis equipment will find a competitive advantage in this tender. Companies that focus on innovative material characterisation technologies may also be well-positioned to engage in this tender, contributing to the development of cutting-edge facilities at the University of Derby. ## Notice A 4,200 square metre building for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is being built at the University's Markeaton Street site. The centre, which is expected to be completed by 2017, will focus on real-world learning, combining functional teaching space with infrastructure designed for the specific needs of engineering and computing. The College of Engineering and Technology, University of Derby is expanding in to the field of composite materials. A laboratory is being setup to look at the advanced material characterisation of these materials. It will offer an extensive range of analysis equipment for the characterisation of composites and their constituent materials. The purpose of this tender is to expand on the current facilities for Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Thermomechanical Analysis.
