This procurement falls within the education sector, specifically aimed at developing advanced machining processes in a research and development environment. The tender was officially initiated on November 20, 2017, with the submission deadline set for January 11, 2018, at 12:00 PM. The successful bidder will deliver the equipment to the Advanced Forming Research Centre located in Inchinnan, Renfrew. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced manufacturing technologies, particularly those with expertise in aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy sectors. Companies with proven track records in delivering high-precision machinery and compliance with stringent EU quality standards will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, firms that can provide evidence of robust financial stability and relevant experience in similar procurement exercises are encouraged to participate in this tender, which emphasises a technical capability split of 70% in its evaluation criteria. ## Notice The equipment will be used in the AFRC workshop area in the development of composites machining processes. The main purpose for this piece of equipment is to develop these machining processes across multiple sectors and commodity types, including, large free form aerospace, renewables and motor sport components. The machine will be used in a non-production, R and D environment, and will require a high level of accuracy, to meet industrial partners' and external customers' requirements. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The supplied system must comprise of all machine elements, inclusive of all necessary tanks, pumps, heat exchangers and control elements. Access to the work area and tooling will be required to allow measurement of key process variables during running of the machine. All oil for hydraulics, lubrication and coolants to enable the initial operation of the machine post-commissioning/handover must be included. Compliance with all relevant EU health and safety standards is mandatory and the equipment and any ancillaries must be CE approved. Please refer to Appendix M Guidance Notes for the ESPD in the General Attachments area on PCS-T for full details on the minimum technical and financial criteria for participating in this contract. Tenderers should note the criteria for Part 4C.1.2 Services in the ESPD, contained in the Qualification envelope of PCS-T,also detailed below. Bidders will be required to provide two examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services/supplies as described in Part II.2.4 of this OJEU Contract Notice.
