This procurement falls under the industrial machinery sector and is being conducted through an EU open procedure, aiming to ensure wide participation. The deadline for submission of tenders is set for 25th July 2018 at 12 noon (UK time), with the intention for delivery and commissioning of the machine by 31st August 2018. The machine will be stationed at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Catcliffe, South Yorkshire, where it will be used for research into high-accuracy milling applications. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacture and supply of industrial machinery, particularly those with expertise in high-precision equipment. Companies capable of providing versatile solutions that can easily adapt to various manufacturing needs would be particularly well-suited to compete. Suppliers of machining tools that work effectively with materials such as aluminium, alloy steel, and stainless steel are encouraged to participate, as the machine's flexible usage is intended to support diverse research projects at the university. ## Notice 1997/384/EML/AMRC/18 - 5 Axis High Speed Machining Centre 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.
