## Summary

The public procurement process for the Contract for the purchase of Milling and Sieving Equipment is being conducted by Swansea University. The contract falls under the goods category and involves the purchase of equipment to prepare various carbon-based materials. The equipment consists of 3 milling instruments and an automated sieve shaker. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the contract signed on October 25, 2018.

This tender for milling and sieving equipment by Swansea University presents opportunities for suppliers of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, as well as instruments for checking physical characteristics. Businesses specializing in milling machines and machine tool equipment may also find this tender suitable for competing. The equipment purchase aims to facilitate the preparation of materials for potential use in iron and steel making processes, indicating a specific focus within the sector for interested businesses.

## Notice

Milling/sieving equipment will now be purchased to prepare a wide range of different carbon-based materials (e.g. coal, coke, biomass, paper, plastic, tyres etc.) for further testing as potential raw materials for use in iron and steel making. The combination of instruments is capable of consistently producing milled samples across a range of different particles sizes (mm to mm sizes). To be specific, the milling/sieving instruments is able to accept initial feed sizes of 60-80mm and mill these down to particle sizes of 1mm (i.e. 5-6 orders of magnitude reduction in particle size). As this is not possible in one step or on one instrument, 3 milling instruments will be purchased; a cutting mill, an ultra-centrifugal mill and a planetary ball mill. We have also awarded the purchase of an automated sieve shaker to separate samples into different particle size ranges.Thus, the whole milling/sieving equipment was sub-divided into 4 sub-systems (see below) which will operate sequentially.1.Cutting mill2.Ultra-centrifugal mill3.Planetary ball mill4.Automated sieve shakerOne supplier has been awarded to supply and deliver ALL specified milling/sieving equipment.
