This procurement, classified under the CPV code for test benches, is currently at the tender stage and was published on 17th September 2015. The tender period concludes at midday on 1st October 2015, with the expected contract start date of 13th October 2015 and an end date of 12th October 2016. The estimated value of the contract is between £40,000 and £60,000, and this is an open procurement process aimed at the goods category. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced testing equipment, particularly those offering products for the automotive and structural composite sectors. Companies that manufacture or supply testing benches or related technologies would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given that the procurement is designed to foster inclusivity in the bidding process, ensuring a fair chance for innovative solutions and essential research capabilities needed for high-volume composite processing. ## Notice The University of Warwick Warwick Manufacturing Group has a requirement for a Textile Reinforcement Permeability Measurement Bench. As part of the ACRC development to provide core capability for composites processing, WMG seeks to purchase a fully automatic bench for measuring the permeability of textile reinforcements (reinforcement meaning dry fabrics and mats made from Glass, Carbon or any other such material/fibre) to enable research into high-volume processing of structural composites for automotive light-weighting. The system will enhance the existing characterisation capabilities of the centre, in terms of speed, accuracy and reliability.
