This initiative falls under the industrial machinery sector and is located in Sunderland, within the North East region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £41,666.66, was awarded on 16 March 2022, with the contract period spanning from 12 September 2021 to 30 June 2023. The open tender had a submission deadline of 31 August 2021 and aimed to enhance the capabilities of SME manufacturers through funded technology implementation. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in industrial machinery and advanced manufacturing technologies. Companies that can provide a fully functional Fibre Laser Machine with the requisite software, training, and maintenance services would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms that cater to low and medium volume production applications and are capable of demonstrating innovative technology solutions within the manufacturing sector can leverage this contract to expand their market reach and collaborate with the University on further projects. ## Notice The Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing Project (SAM Project) is a PS10.9M funded project (ERDF and University of Sunderland), based within The Industry Centre, part of the University of Sunderland. The project is set up to support product / process development and implementation of technology for SME manufacturers within the North East Local Enterprise Partnership Region. We are looking for a supplier to provide a fully functional Fibre Laser Metal Cutting Machine complete with software and interfaces, training, maintenance and a minimum 2 year warranty. A low to medium volume production manufacturing application, in low batch sizes and frequent cut pattern/job variation, capable of also being used for training, teaching, demonstration, prototyping as well as production situations. The machine should be a fully enclosed laser safe cell, with fume and debris management. The maximum value of the procurement is up to PS41,666.66 (ex VAT) PS50,000 (including VAT), for the purpose of this tender award and any subsequent services which may be connected with the original award we reserve the right to spend a further 25% of the anticipated spend subject to changes in legislation or requirement.
