The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the closing date for submissions set for 13th November 2017 at 12 noon (UK time). This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on cladding, with an estimated contract value of £75,000. The procurement method is an open procedure that complies with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced manufacturing, particularly those with expertise in delivering and installing laser technology. Companies with capabilities in cladding processes, especially in the nuclear sector, would find this tender relevant. The nature of the procurement encourages competition from firms that can provide high-speed, defect-free cladding solutions for stainless steel and nickel-based alloys, particularly those experienced in handling sophisticated machinery and robotics. ## Notice 1799/344/MY/NAMRC/17 Hot-wire laser cladding equipment The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for Hot Wire Laser Cladding Equipment on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Castings Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire. Scope of Requirement This procurement is for the delivery, installation and commissioning of equipment to support the upgrade of the existing diode laser facility at the Nuclear AMRC, Brunel Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham, UK to enable process development of the manufacturing of key elements of nuclear components. The current existing setup at the Nuclear AMRC consists of a Laserline Diode Laser LDF15000-100 with a maximum power of 15kW. The manipulation of the process head is provided by a gantry mounted Kuka robot (5 axis + 1 gantry axis) type: KR60 L30 JET. The maximum load to be lifted by the robot is 60kg. All components have been delivered and integrated by GTV Impex GmbH. The equipment specification defined here is aimed at establishing laser hot wire-cladding capabilities capable of cladding at high speed, defect free, with low dilution, thin single layers of stainless steel and Ni based alloys. The equipment should be able to allow hot wire cladding of horizontal surfaces (ASME IX 1G) and also surfaces that deviate from this orientation, including vertical walls (ASME IX 2G, 3G) or equivalent specifications where applicable. Tender Process and Documentation: This procurement is a non EU open procedure carried out in accordance with the Regulations ( Public Contracts Regulations 2015).
