The tender, titled "CNC Routing Machine," falls under the "Machine tools" industry category. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline of 6th December 2017, and the contract period is set from 18th December 2017 to 28th February 2018. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a total contract value of £100,000 and a minimum value of £50,000. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in machinery supply, particularly those focused on CNC machines and related equipment. Companies that can offer innovative solutions to enhance production processes, reduce lead times, and improve operational efficiency will be well-suited to compete. This is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their market presence in the manufacturing sector, especially within the Cornish economy. ## Notice Parc Signs Limited is a supplier of signage and display materials to a range of businesses and organisations across Cornwall and the rest of the UK. Key customers include the National Trust who have appointed us as one of 4 suppliers of signage to their estates across the UK. We also work with design agencies across Cornwall on a range of signage and exhibition style projects including museum fit outs and interpretation schemes. We would like to make a significant investment in our production department that will deliver long-term benefits to the business and enable us to increase our product range whilst enhancing our operating margins. Our current machining centre will only cut substrates which are 60mm deep and as a result an increasing amount of machining is currently being outsourced which adds costs, time and quality control overheads to our production line. Our investment in the proposed additional CNC will: * reduce the production dependency and bottleneck associated with our existing machine * remove a single point of failure within our current operating processes * decrease lead-times, a significant factor in customers' minds when they decide to buy from us * thanks to an increased cutting depth, and ability to handle thicker substrate material, allows us to bring outsourced production back in house and allow us to develop new products and processes that will enhance our market position and create jobs in the Cornish economy. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. We will compare tenders received on a compliance basis only.
