## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is planning a tender for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of a Cryogenic Materials Tester for Super Conducting Cables. The National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland requires this equipment to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load. Suppliers interested in this potential procurement exercise must note their interest before 6th December 2021.

This tender opportunity offers businesses in the electrical machinery industry a chance to supply essential testing equipment to the University of Strathclyde and the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland. Companies with experience in providing laboratory equipment, industrial process control equipment, and insulated wire and cables would be well-suited to compete in this tender for business growth.

## Notice

The University of Strathclyde requires a single suitably qualified supplier to supply, deliver and commission a cryogenic material tester for superconductors to perform tensile testing on superconducting materials under electrical load.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Strathclyde requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to supply, deliver and commission a cryogenic material tester for superconductors. The equipment is required to perform mechanical and electrical testings for superconducting materials. The equipment must provide tensile and compression tests for superconducting samples and non-superconducting samples with a temperature down to 4 Kelvin. In addition, the equipment must be able to apply a direct current (DC) to the sample: without mechanical testing contacts.

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 its sole discretion exercise this option.
