This procurement is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 30 April 2018. The project is located in Beaurains, France, where a new purpose-built facility is anticipated to be completed by November 2018. The machine will play a crucial role in the CWGC's operations, replacing an existing 2 Axis stone cutting machine and is classified under special-purpose machine tools. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the machinery supply and support sector, particularly those with expertise in CNC technology and stone processing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the CWGC aims to engage a diverse supplier base for this essential equipment. Companies capable of delivering maintenance and technical support over a period of up to five years are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is responsible for the commemoration of almost 1.7 million members of the Commonwealth forces who gave their lives in the two world wars. CWGC cares for cemeteries and memorials at 23,000 locations, in 154 countries. To support this work, the CWGC is looking to replace it's existing 2 Axis stone cutting machine with a CNC 5-Axis Machine.
