The location for delivery is Catcliffe, Rotherham, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the main industry category includes the procurement of goods specifically related to industrial lasers and installation services. The anticipated contract period is from 3rd December 2021 to 10th December 2021. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced manufacturing, laser technology, and installation services of mechanical equipment. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the competitive nature and potential for involvement in the integration of the laser systems with existing technology. Companies with expertise in fibre optic cable solutions and hardware installation may find this contract especially aligned with their capabilities, making it a promising avenue for business growth in the evolving manufacturing sector. ## Notice 3118/531.JN.NAMRC.21 Picosecond Laser and Scanning Head The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Picosecond Laser & Scanning Head on behalf of the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC). Scope of Requirement The Nuclear AMRC are looking to purchase a picosecond laser, scanning head, fibre optic cable and controller for use in the manufacturing process of large metallic components. The picosecond laser will initially be used for the removal of oxide layers and surface contaminants such as oil and cutting fluid, with a view to later purchasing suitable optics to use for laser for machining and surface texturing. The supplied solution should be functional as a standalone system when the head is appropriately mounted. However, the medium-term objective is for the picosecond laser and scanning head system to be subsequently integrated into the existing diode laser cell (DLC) at the Nuclear AMRC, and as such there are certain compatibility requirements that are set out in the following technical specification. It is anticipated that there may be some involvement by the successful bidder in the subsequent integration, but the level of involvement is dependent upon the specifics of the control system.
