This tender process, classified under industrial machinery, is currently in the cancelled stage due to the market's failure to meet the specified delivery requirements. The original submission deadline was set for 25th July 2018, with the expectation for the machine to be delivered and commissioned by 31st August 2018. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced manufacturing and machine tool technologies, particularly those capable of producing high precision machinery adaptable to various applications. Companies with expertise in aluminium, alloy steel, and stainless steel machining solutions would be well-positioned to re-engage with the University in future procurement activities, as new tender documentation with revisions to specifications may be forthcoming. ## Notice 1997/384/EML/AMRC/18 - 5 Axis High Speed Machining Centre PROCEDURE CONCLUDED WITHOUT AWARD The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a 5 axis machine tool on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Machining Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire. Scope of Requirement The University seeks to purchase a 5 axis machine tool that will support the AMRC's research into high accuracy prismatic simultaneous milling applications ideally to be delivered and commissioned to the AMRC by August 31 2018. As the machine will be utilised for research projects rather than production, the usage will be subject to frequent change to suit different projects. The solution should therefore be readily and rapidly changeable to work on multiple applications. The machine tool will allow manufacture of components in various materials, primarily aluminium but not excluding alloy steel and stainless steels. The equipment should allow for machining with high pressure coolant.
