This procurement process, currently in the Award stage, followed an open procedure and concluded on 8th October 2018. The contract, scheduled to commence on 17th December 2018 and lasting until 18th December 2018, is aimed at supporting materials discovery at the Royce Institute, located in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in advanced materials processing and associated technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to enhance the UK's research and innovation in materials science. Interested suppliers are encouraged to demonstrate their capabilities in delivering industrial furnaces and casting machines that meet the Institute's requirements. ## Notice The Sheffield Royce Institute is a~PS34M project based in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Sheffield is part of the national Henry Royce Institute (with the main Hub in Manchester) which aims to grow the UK world-leading research and innovation base in advanced materials science, fundamental to all industrial sectors and the national economy. The Sheffield Royce Institute focuses on Advanced Materials Processing and will be delivered through two centres - the Royce Discovery Centre (RDC) and the Royce Translational Centre (RTC). These state of the art facilities will allow materials discovery, materials manufacturing and prototype production and will act as an open access centre of excellence for the UK. As part of the Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The University of Sheffield would like to purchase a small-scale strip caster with the capacity to melt up to about 100g of various metals and alloys and to produce width of ribbons up to 20mm. This small-scale strip caster is to support the materials discovery strand of the Henry Royce theme.
