This procurement is currently at the Tender stage, with proposals due by 13th November 2017 at 12 noon (UK time). The project, which has a budget between £50,000 and £75,000, aims to upgrade the diode laser facility at the Nuclear AMRC to enhance manufacturing capabilities for nuclear components. The contract is expected to commence on 20th November 2017 and run until 31st March 2018 and is classified under the goods category for cladding equipment through an open procurement method. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing equipment, specifically those with experience in laser technology and engineering solutions. Companies that can deliver high-quality, defect-free cladding services with low material dilution would be particularly well-suited to participate in this competitive process. Engaging in this tender could significantly enhance a business's profile in the advanced manufacturing sector, fostering growth through involvement in critical nuclear component development. ## Notice 1799/344/MY/NAMRC/17 Hot-wire laser cladding equipment The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for Hot Wire Laser Cladding Equipment on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Castings Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire. Scope of Requirement This procurement is for the delivery, installation and commissioning of equipment to support the upgrade of the existing diode laser facility at the Nuclear AMRC, Brunel Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham, UK to enable process development of the manufacturing of key elements of nuclear components. The current existing setup at the Nuclear AMRC consists of a Laserline Diode Laser LDF15000-100 with a maximum power of 15kW. The manipulation of the process head is provided by a gantry mounted Kuka robot (5 axis + 1 gantry axis) type: KR60 L30 JET. The maximum load to be lifted by the robot is 60kg. All components have been delivered and integrated by GTV Impex GmbH. The equipment specification defined here is aimed at establishing laser hot wire-cladding capabilities capable of cladding at high speed, defect free, with low dilution, thin single layers of stainless steel and Ni based alloys. The equipment should be able to allow hot wire cladding of horizontal surfaces (ASME IX 1G) and also surfaces that deviate from this orientation, including vertical walls (ASME IX 2G, 3G) or equivalent specifications where applicable. Tender Process and Documentation: This procurement is a non EU open procedure carried out in accordance with the Regulations ( Public Contracts Regulations 2015).
