## Summary

London South Bank University procured CNC equipment to upgrade existing manual lathes and milling machines to CNC-operated equipment. The purpose is to bring workshop capability in line with modern industry standards and the expectations of digital manufacturing and advanced engineering. This is a goods requirement covering lathes, boring and milling machine tools (CPV 42620000), rather than a construction or consultancy service. Delivery covered England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buying organisation is London South Bank University, based in London. The procurement comprised one lot and has been completed.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. XYZ Machine Tools Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2029. Its value is £164,948 excluding VAT, or £197,938 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process, with the available information identifying the equipment and the university’s need to modernise workshop capability. This was a single-lot award, so the published contract value relates to the complete CNC equipment requirement rather than a wider multi-lot programme.

This procurement shows established demand from a higher-education engineering workshop for converting manual machining capability to CNC operation. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be machine-tool specialists able to supply lathes, boring machines and milling machines, and to deliver practical CNC upgrades rather than only general engineering consultancy. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience in CNC equipment, digital manufacturing and advanced engineering environments, together with the technical capacity to assess existing manual machinery and provide suitable modernised equipment. Businesses serving education, training or industrial workshops could use this requirement as a reference point for the scale and scope of university machine-tool purchasing. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist smaller businesses can compete for this type of work.

## Notice

The upgrade of existing manual lathes and milling machines to CNC-operated equipment will address the need to align workshop capabilities with modern industry standards, ensuring compliance with current expectations for digital manufacturing and advanced engineering practices.
