This procurement, classified under flow-measuring equipment, is at the tender stage and was published on 12th August 2015. The deadline for submission of completed tenders is 9th September 2015, with the contract expected to commence on 14th September 2015 and conclude by 14th December 2015. The procurement follows an open procedure, allowing broad participation from suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in laboratory equipment, particularly those focused on research and testing apparatus for materials like metals, ceramics, and polymers. Businesses that can deliver advanced rheometric systems capable of measuring powder flow under varying conditions would be particularly well-suited to compete. The scope of this tender not only encourages innovation in materials testing but also fosters partnerships in the rapidly evolving field of additive manufacturing. ## Notice 274/EML/NAM/15 Powder Flow Tester The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for supply to the NAMTEC Group of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre at Catcliffe in Rotherham. Scope of the Requirement: The supply, installation and commissioning of a rheometer, shear cell type system to measure powder flow properties. The system should be able to measure powder materials under a wide range of conditions to determine how the powder will behave under typical processing conditions. These changing conditions include pressure, temperature, humidity and energy level applied to the powder. The system should be used to examine metallic, ceramic and polymeric powder materials. It is intended to be primarily used in a research laboratory setting for characterising the flow properties of powder metals used in additive manufacture, HIP and other PM processes. Tender Process and Documentation: This is an open, sub threshold exercise. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield. If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend System, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system.
