This procurement was conducted under an open procedure and falls within the industry category of goods, covering natural gas, carbon, and various special-purpose machinery. The project was prepared on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Catcliffe, South Yorkshire, with the aim of decarbonising gas-fuelled processes, particularly a 656kW kiln used in investment casting. The tender process invited submissions through the University's e-tendering system, with the receipt deadline being 7 November 2025 at 12 noon UK time. This contract provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in natural gas decarbonisation systems and comparable economic solutions to traditional natural gas. Suiso Limited, the successful supplier, has been awarded the contract valued at £470,000, representing a substantial opportunity in the decarbonisation sector. Businesses that offer innovative energy solutions, particularly those with experience in reducing carbon emissions in manufacturing processes, would find this tender particularly suitable for collaboration. Companies with expertise in installation services of miscellaneous general-purpose machinery could also benefit from such opportunities, paving the way for expanding partnerships and enhancing technological advancements in sustainable operations. ## Notice 4585/AMRC/CK/25 Gas Decarbonisation Equipment The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Gas Decarbonisation Equipment on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Castings Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire. Scope of Requirement AMRC Castings has many gas fuelled processes which we are looking to decarbonise, in particular a 656kW kiln used for firing the ceramic shells used for investment casting. The thermodynamic requirements of the process and on-site electrical grid constraints mean that electrification is not a viable option, and as such, we are interested in ways of decarbonising the natural gas supply to the kiln. We are aware that fuel switching to low carbon hydrogen is technically possible, but currently low carbon hydrogen is significantly more expensive than natural gas which would result in uneconomically high operational costs. We are interested in installing a natural gas decarbonisation system to supply our investment mould flash fire kiln, but we need the solution to be comparable economically to natural gas.
