This procurement falls under the goods category, with a total contract value of £650,000 and a minimum threshold of £500,000. The tender period is set to close on 29 October 2017, with the contract anticipated to run from 30 November 2017 to 29 November 2019. Interested suppliers should note that the delivery address for this project is the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering at Coventry University, located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial lasers and machine tools, especially those looking to partner with academic institutions for advanced manufacturing projects. Companies that manufacture or supply laser welding equipment, as well as those with expertise in similar research and development activities, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this tender could enhance a business's profile in the high-value manufacturing sector and foster future collaborations with the institute as a recognised centre of excellence. ## Notice The University and the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) is in the process of enhancing its joining and fabrication research capability to undertake welding, brazing, hard-facing and Additive Manufacturing (AM) through the use of laser heat sources identified as process 52 within ISO 4063. The use of laser systems will complement the existing arc welding hardware to offer a suite of processing opportunities capable of achieving a range of power densities needed to address the increasing complexity of components required for the high-value manufacturing sector. The laser will be used to support our research activities and is not intended to be used within the context of daily commercial usage. However, this new facility will further widen our appeal as a centre of excellence for automotive and mechanical research. This opportunity serve as an invitation to tender for the supply of a Laser Welding Cell.
