## Summary

The University of Sunderland has completed the procurement process for a robotic welding cell, titled "University of Sunderland - SAM - Robotic Welding Cell Technology." This project falls under the industrial machinery category and is located in Sunderland, North East England. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 28th March 2019. The contract itself commenced on 30th April 2019 and is set to end on 31st December 2020. The awarded contract, valued at £76,872, was officially granted to Bauromat UK Ltd on 4th July 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the industrial machinery sector, particularly those specialising in robotic technology and automation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in robotic welding applications may find it advantageous to explore potential future collaborations or similar projects with the University of Sunderland. The development facility is seeking innovative solutions, making it an attractive prospect for companies looking to grow their presence in this field.

## Notice

The University requires a Robotic Weld cell that should demonstrate to organisations the requirements for safety and control of robotic welding applications. It is envisaged that the cell may operate in 'teach mode' rather than automatic for much of its time due to being a development facility. The cell however must be interlocked and capable of running in automatic where necessary.
