This procurement falls within the miscellaneous special-purpose machinery industry category, with a closing date for submissions on 16 March 2020. The anticipated value of this contract is £370,000, with a minimum value of £300,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing any interested parties to submit their bids. The project is set to commence on 4 May 2020 and will conclude on 3 May 2021, with delivery addresses located in Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for UK-based aerospace manufacturing businesses, particularly those focused on novel technologies and automated assembly systems, to enhance their competitive positioning against overseas rivals. Businesses that specialise in advanced manufacturing and possess capabilities in productivity and quality improvements will find this tender especially relevant. The successful execution of this project could allow participants to showcase their innovative solutions and potentially secure future contracts in a growing sector. ## Notice The Centre for Aerospace Manufacturing (CAM) at the University Of Nottingham (UoN) works with partners from across the UK and European aerospace industry to deliver industrially focused research into aerospace assembly systems. Advanced manufacturing is a key research priority area for Nottingham and the University has invested significantly in this research. The University made a strategic investment in automated assembly infrastructure through the Future Automated Aerospace Assembly Demonstrator (FA3D) project, which was commissioned in 2016. Based on the success of this project, funding has been secured from the UK Government's Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) through the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) for development of the second phase of this demonstrator. The Future Automated Aerospace Assembly Demonstrator Phase 2 (FA3D2) will provide an opportunity for UK based aerospace manufacturing businesses to test, demonstrate and accelerate the implementation of novel breakthrough technologies, thus allowing them to compete on productivity, quality and cost with rival offshore businesses.
