## Summary

The procurement process for the "Pro-Beam Analysis System" is being conducted by the University of Sheffield, located in Sheffield, England. This project falls within the welding equipment industry category and is classified under goods procurement. The contract, valued at £79,511, was awarded on 9 October 2020 to TWI Limited (The Welding Institute) after a tender issued through a single source authorisation procurement method. The delivery is set to take place in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, with the contract period spanning from 10 October 2020 to 9 October 2021.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in innovative welding solutions and equipment. Companies that are SMEs or venture capital-backed social enterprises may find themselves well-positioned to compete, especially those that can offer portable and versatile products suitable for high-profile projects. With a focus on developing systems for advanced applications like electron beam welding, businesses that are agile and can provide strong after-sale support and maintenance will likely excel in this competitive market.

## Notice

A portable solution that can be effectively deployed on project partner equipment. This system is the only system available on the market that can be easily transported from site to site (it is the size of a small suitcase). We intend to travel to the US for comparison work therefore this system is the only viable solution. The beam analysis system would be used for projects with high profile clients. The use of EBW for thick section welding is a hot topic at the moment. This equipment will allow Nuclear AMRC to directly compare systems. This will simplify training, installation, after sale support and maintenance.
