The process was conducted through an open procedure, with a focus on research and development for additive manufacturing. The tender, with a value of £250,000, aimed to acquire a machine capable of building complex metal objects directly from CAD data. The closing date for submissions was 17th November 2022, and the tender was managed electronically via the procurement services of Cardiff University located in Cardiff, UK. This tender presents a significant business opportunity for companies specializing in metal additive manufacturing technologies. Businesses with expertise in developing materials for additive manufacturing and manufacturing complex metal objects would find this opportunity well-suited for their capabilities. The contract, awarded to Matsuura Machinery Ltd for £336,902, signifies a successful procurement process for companies involved in metalworking, research and development, and the supply of goods for academic institutions. ## Notice The aim of this procurement process is to purchase a metal binder jetting machine which will be focussed for research and development of new materials for additive manufacturing. The machine will be capable of building complex three-dimensional metal AM objects directly from CAD data. ### Lot Information Lot 1 We are intending to purchase a metal binder jetting machine which will be focussed for research and development of new materials for additive manufacturing. The machine will be capable of building complex three dimensional metal AM objects directly from CAD data. The machine should be capable of manufacturing objects from a wide range of metal powders, including stainless steel, nickel-based superalloys, aluminium alloys and titanium alloys. As the machine will be R&D focussed, a small build volume is targeted (e.g. no larger than 200 x 100 x 100 mm3) to maintain the AM process cost-effective at laboratory scales. Options: 3 x 1 year Maintenance & Support Ancillaries and Spares Renewal: 3 x 1 year options ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=125722 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Dec 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £336,902 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CARDIFF UNIVERSITY | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF24 0DE | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Adamsdown | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff East | | Delivery location | TLL22 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MATSUURA MACHINERY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 22000000 - Printed matter and related products - 30232100 - Printers and plotters - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 42962000 - Printing and graphics equipment ## Release History - 16 Jan 2023 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=125722 - 18 Oct 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=125722 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT415111 Purchase of Metal Binder Jetting Machine - The aim of this procurement process is to purchase a metal binder jetting machine which will be focussed for research and development of new materials for additive manufacturing.
