Located in Redcar, North East England, the procurement method is open, allowing for broad participation, with the tender period that concluded on January 31, 2019. The contract, valued at £181,302, commenced on February 10, 2019, and is scheduled to end on February 10, 2023. This procurement aims to enhance the manufacturing of plastic components integrated with printed electronic circuits. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced manufacturing technologies, especially those focused on vacuum forming and electronic circuit fabrication. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the technology and engineering sectors, particularly those with expertise in 3D printing and electronic systems integration, would be well-positioned to pursue this contract. Engaging in this procurement not only opens avenues for immediate business growth but also aligns with the growing demand for innovative manufacturing solutions in the electronics industry. ## Notice CPI has a requirement for a Vacuum Forming Machine for prototype manufacture of plastic formed parts. The parts to be formed will contain printed electronic circuits and so any features of the machine that are particularly relevant to this application should be highlighted. As part of a new technology extension, CPI is building equipment capability inb 3D printed and formed electronic systems and intends to install Vacuum Forming capability to allow for the creation of 3D formed electronic circuits. This tender aims to acquire this capability. The equipment must be able to form plastic sheets which contain printed circuits formed using a range of printing technologies but including screen print of silver and other inks and also inkjet and aerosol jet printed circuits. The circuits to be formed may consist only of printed conductor tracks and sensor materials or they may also contain electronic components. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14e445a8-517e-428a-b40f-b7bfd2cbf9ba | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Feb 2019 | | Contract period | 18 Feb 2019 - 10 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £181,302 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £181,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CENTRE FOR PROCESS INNOVATION LIMITED | | Locality | REDCAR | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS10 4RF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC32 South Teesside | | Local authority | Redcar and Cleveland | | Electoral ward | Dormanstown | | Westminster constituency | Redcar | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | FORMECH INTERNATIONAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 11 Feb 2019 at 13:38 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14e445a8-517e-428a-b40f-b7bfd2cbf9ba - 16 Jan 2019 at 17:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fe05e97-9e9f-4b2f-bc9a-571b3a2fffb6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14e445a8-517e-428a-b40f-b7bfd2cbf9ba 11th February 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fe05e97-9e9f-4b2f-bc9a-571b3a2fffb6 16th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ef0bd9a6-6078-4e21-a309-4bb6b34db855 Tender Pack - https://ne1procurementservices.com/ Tender Advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
