Additionally, bidders should have a minimum average yearly turnover of £2,500,000 over the past three years and hold the necessary insurance coverage to qualify for this public contract.

## Notice

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University requires the supply, delivery and installation of a linear hammer forge at the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS). Hammer closed die forging will provide the University with a unique ability to convert a range of new alloys either powder-derived or ingots into forged profiles and demonstrator parts. A state-of-the-art electric hammer does not currently exist in a UK research establishment. The machine will be situated in the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), a specialist centre within the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and will be a unique, key strategic piece of equipment in NMIS. The equipment will be utilised in a range of research projects ranging from novel alloy forging, recycled/revert billets and to conventional forging alloys. While the press will be housed at NMIS it will be made available to both academic and industrial partners across the whole of the United Kingdom. The University seeks a supplier that can fulfill the below non-exhaustive list of technical requirements: - The offered equipment must demonstrate hammer energy capacity of at least 20 kJ with the ability to set the blow strength in a range anywhere between 5% to 100% of the energy capacity. - The supplier is required to provide drawings and 3d models of tooling, equipment assemblies and foundations. These must be provided in a standard format (for example; STEP, DWG, ASSEMBLY). -The offered equipment will have the ability to view, measure and record all process parameters; for example the forging loads and anvil/tup travel and speed. - The awarded supplier must provide, as a minimum, a twelve (12) month warranty on goods, inclusive of all parts, labour and shipping costs. The warranty must include any critical software updates or remediations free of charge. - The awarded supplier must arrange for the delivery of the offered equipment to NMIS.

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.
