This tender falls under the goods category, specifically machine tools operated by laser, and is based in Coventry, UK. The tender period concludes on 2nd May 2017, and the contract is expected to start on 30th May 2017, lasting for a year until 29th May 2018. The estimated contract value ranges from £500,000 to £600,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in advanced manufacturing technologies, particularly those focused on laser systems and industrial lasers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in robotics, welding, and additive manufacturing would be well-suited to compete for this contract, allowing them to contribute to cutting-edge research and potentially grow their market presence in the manufacturing sector. ## Notice Coventry 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 using Laser heat sources identified as process 52 within ISO 4063. The accurate processing of parts using wire, powder or a mixture of the two filler material media requires a system to be suitably flexible in joining and manufacturing 3D parts to meet future concepts being researched at the University and AME. This tender opportunity serve as an invitation to tender for the supply of a Robotic Laser Welding Cell: which will be located within the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME), Coventry UK.
