## Summary

The University of Sunderland is currently seeking suppliers for a tender titled "Robotic Welding Cell Technology", positioned within the industrial machinery sector. The procurement is in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 28th March 2019. The contract is intended to commence on 30th April 2019 and will run until 31st December 2020. This procurement follows an open procedure below the threshold, allowing various suppliers to participate. The project's primary aim is to establish a development facility demonstrating safety and control in robotic welding applications, located at the University’s City Campus in Sunderland, UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in industrial machinery and automation technologies. Companies specialising in robotic systems, welding equipment, and safety technologies would be particularly well-suited for this project. The involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is encouraged, making it an excellent chance for innovative firms looking to expand their footprint in the education and manufacturing sectors. Overall, successful participation can lead to valuable contracts and lasting relationships with an established educational institution.

## 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.
