The procurement, classified under the industry category of "Industrial machinery," employs an open procedure above the prescribed threshold. The tender period concluded on 3rd November 2021, and the contract, valued at approximately £359,040, is active from 14th February 2022 until 13th February 2023. The delivery address for the equipment is located in Sheffield, England, specifically at postal code S1 1WB. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial machinery, particularly those that manufacture CNC-related equipment. Companies that can provide high-precision machine tools capable of handling diverse materials, including aluminium, steel, and titanium, will find this tender especially relevant. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, as the procurement is designed to foster participation from a broad range of suppliers. ## Notice Sheffield Hallam University requires a Five Axis milling machine tool with its supporting equipment, initial consumables, software, and warranties, for the College of Business, Technology and Engineering (BTE). The equipment is part of a long-term plan to ensure that the University continues to offer an up-to-date, industry-relevant experience to our students and that we teach innovative cutting-edge technologies that not only add to the student experience but also the credibility of the University. This tender is for the supply, installation, commissioning and warranty and maintenance of a Five Axis milling machine tool. The equipment should have adequate robustness, high precision, and repeatability to facilitate the manufacture of high-performance components that is subject to tolerance requirements. The piece of equipment should allow machining with high pressure coolant, tool coolant, flood coolant and dry cutting. The intended use of the new 5-axis machine tool is threefold; firstly, it will be used to produce one-off, or small batch of components for projects and students; secondly it will be used to provide the practical principles of CNC and automated manufacture to groups of 10 University undergraduate students. Finally, it will be used to undertake research in 5-axis machining. This may include cutter analysis (wear, chatter, etc.), developing machining strategies, and machining parameter optimisation. The machine tool will be used to cut mostly aluminium, and occasionally steel and titanium. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dbe32a6c-87b7-4bfd-8b3b-e84ebc2167f2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 3 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Jan 2022 | | Contract period | 14 Feb 2022 - 13 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £360,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £359,040 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD HALLAM UNIVERSITY | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 1WB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GEO KINGSBURY MACHINE TOOLS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42000000 - Industrial machinery ## Release History - 14 Feb 2022 at 14:32 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dbe32a6c-87b7-4bfd-8b3b-e84ebc2167f2 - 29 Sep 2021 at 09:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/51b2b650-cbda-48d7-ba1a-29ee0361e309 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dbe32a6c-87b7-4bfd-8b3b-e84ebc2167f2 14th February 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/51b2b650-cbda-48d7-ba1a-29ee0361e309 29th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffieldhallamuniversity ## Notice URLs - https://www.shu.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
