## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the University of Strathclyde, sought suppliers for the "Supply, delivery and commissioning of Cryogenic Materials Tester for Super Conducting Cables". This tender falls under the goods category, with a specific emphasis on testing and measuring equipment, classified under CPV code 38540000. The process was conducted using an open procurement method, and the delivery was to take place in Glasgow, UK. Unfortunately, the tender has been cancelled as of February 2, 2021, marking the end of this specific procurement stage without any successful bidders.

This procurement opportunity was aimed at businesses that specialise in manufacturing or supplying industrial testing equipment, particularly those with experience in cryogenic technologies. Companies capable of developing or providing advanced testing instruments for superconducting materials would find a fitting market in this contract. Despite the cancellation, businesses should monitor similar future tenders from the University of Strathclyde and other educational institutions looking to advance their research capabilities in superconductivity.

## Notice

National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) require a cryogenic material tester for superconductors to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

A cryogenic material tester for superconductors is required to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load. The testing needs to cover tensile with a temperature range of Room Temperature down to 4 Kelvin. The machine also needs to be able to perform tensile and compression testing on non superconductor samples from RT to 4 Kelvin.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
