The procurement falls under the goods category and is targeted at businesses in the laboratory and industrial machinery sectors. The submission deadline for bids is set for 3rd November 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 23rd November 2017 and run until 26th November 2018. The winch is essential for the RRS Sir David Attenborough, a new polar research vessel, and must meet specific design and operational requirements detailed in the tender documentation. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in the design and manufacture of scientific equipment and industrial machinery, particularly those capable of producing well-engineered and compliant systems tailored to maritime operations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement has been structured to facilitate their involvement within the regulatory framework established by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Companies with relevant expertise in fabricating durable maritime equipment are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice *** This tender requirement was abandoned prior to a Contract award decision. *** Note : Please disregard any content in this notice that requests your organisation "to apply directly to the buyer" as this unfortunately a system generated error, that is outside of the Contracting Authorities control . Scientific Mooring Winch Construction has begun on the RRS Sir David Attenborough (SDA) - one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world. From 2018 scientists researching oceans, ice and atmosphere will have access to state-of-the-art facilities on this floating laboratory. The SDA will support scientific moorings, thus NERC/BAS need the ability to deploy and recover scientific mooring from on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough (SDA). To do so, a special purpose build scientific mooring winch is needed. Specifications: 1. The winch and associated parts must be kept as simple as possible, whilst being structurally well-engineered. 2. The system has to be built to Lloyd's Registers Rules and Regulations. 3. Equipment to comply with all Class and statutory requirements. 4. The system has to have a life expectancy of a minimum of 10 years (preferred 10-15 years). For this time period spare parts must be available. 5. A self-contained system, with sufficient cable (to allow positioning of the winch anywhere on the aft deck) and rating to work off the ship's power supply. 6. A safe working load (SWL) of not less than 2 tonnes. 7. Smooth speed control in both directions from zero to at least 2m/s. 8. The system must be electrically powered. 9. The system has to be able to work with wire rope and polyester ropes from 5 mm to 14 mm diameter. 10. A compact and accessible footprint to allow easy securing to 1 by 1 m deck matrix. 11. A remote control system which allows the winch driver to walk/work freely around the winch system. Delivery is required by end of March 2018. The scientific mooring winch must come with a minimum warranty of 12 months. The full detailed specification can be found in the attached RE17380 Scientific Mooring Winch ITQ Invitation to Quote document.
