This tender falls under the goods category and is part of a planning stage for expressions of interest. Interested suppliers must respond with their informal expressions of interest by 12:00pm on 3rd December 2021. The successful bidder will need to ensure delivery, supply, and installation of the equipment by the deadline of 31st March 2022, adhering to the specified technical requirements. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in manufacturing testing and measuring machines, particularly those with capabilities in specialised equipment installation. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with technical specifications, including calibration and material requirements, would be well-suited to compete. Suppliers in the testing apparatus sector should consider this tender, especially those familiar with the aerospace industry, as the equipment will support collaborative research and enterprise activities at the university's Advanced Composites Training and Development Centre. ## Notice Wrexham Glyndwr University has an extensive Composites laboratory based at the Advanced Composites Training and Development Centre in Broughton which is a joint activity with Airbus.This laboratory is used for teaching, research and enterprise activities. There is also collaboration within the university with the OpTIC centre and this as well as commercial opportunities to an extent governs the requirements of the equipment which is available and the capability of the laboratory.We are looking to identify and source suppliers that can supply a drop weight impact tester equipment which fulfils the following technical requirements, which are outlined below:Ability to make measurements in the temperature range -70 to 150oCAnti-rebound deviceAccredited calibration of the systemHigh resonance frequency. Expectation is that this would be greater than 75 kHzSupport stand for compression after impact testing of composites and also Boeing Compression after impact future for subsequent edgewise testing of the damaged specimens. Both must be completely compliant with ASTM D7137 or D7137MWide impact energy range with an expectation that this is from 0.6 to 800 JPiezo electric instrumented tub 16mm diameter in accordance with ASTM D7136 and Airbus AITM 1.0010The Equipment MUST be manufactured, supplied, delivered and Installed BEFORE 31 March 2022 due to grant funding terms and conditions.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=116195. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=116195 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLYNDWR UNIVERSITY | | Locality | WREXHAM | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL11 2AW | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL34 Flintshire and Wrexham | | Local authority | Wrexham | | Electoral ward | Grosvenor | | Westminster constituency | Wrexham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 38500000 - Checking and testing apparatus - 38540000 - Machines and apparatus for testing and measuring - 51200000 - Installation services of equipment for measuring, checking, testing and navigating - 51230000 - Installation services of testing equipment ## Release History - 25 Nov 2021 at 15:59 - Planning - S2W Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=116195 ## Notice URLs - https://www.glyndwr.ac.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=116195 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
