This initiative falls within the education sector and is based in Glasgow, UK. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the bid submission deadline set for 7 March 2018. Interested parties should note that submissions must be made electronically. The open procedure allows for a wide range of suppliers to participate in this opportunity. This tender presents significant opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers specialising in advanced composite materials, inspection equipment, and related technologies. Businesses with expertise in delivering high-quality structural integrity analysis tools and those capable of providing technically sophisticated solutions are particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, suppliers must demonstrate a proven financial standing and relevant experience to align with the specific requirements outlined in the tender documentation. ## Notice The University requires a Supplier to install and commission Composites Characterisation Equipment (Structural Integrity) that will include: - A phased array acquisition module able to detect wrinkles, resin-rich areas, impact damage, voids, porosity, cracks, delamination, and disbonds - A probe to analyse plate-like materials with high accuracy - A near-wall probe to analyse components with radius and/or complex geometry - A fixed array probe for the analysis of complex geometries ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University requires a Supplier to install and commission Composites Characterisation Equipment (Structural Integrity) that will include: - A phased array acquisition module able to detect wrinkles, resin-rich areas, impact damage, voids, porosity, cracks, delamination, and disbonds - A probe to analyse plate-like materials with high accuracy - A near-wall probe to analyse components with radius and/or complex geometry - A fixed array probe for the analysis of complex geometries The equipment will be installed at AFRC, Westway Park, Porterfield Road, Renfrew and situated in a purpose-built suitable environment. This document outlines the specification for the Composites Characterisation Equipment (Structural Integrity). The equipment will support the development of a wide range of improved, high integrity composite components for challenging applications. It will address the requirement for a pilot scale facility to record the parameters required for the inspection of advanced composite materials. The AFRC requires the equipment to assess various aspects of composite components to determine structural capability. Please refer to Appendix M Guidance Notes for the ESPD in the General Attachments area of 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. Tenderers will be required to provide examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services/supplies as described in this part II.2.4 of the OJEU Contract Notice. Options: The University reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations. The University may at its sole discretion exercise this option. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB309594 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Mar 2018 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1QE | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71630000 - Technical inspection and testing services ## Release History - 9 Feb 2018 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB309594 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB309594 Composites Characterisation Equipment (Structural Integrity) for the AFRC - The University requires a Supplier to install and commission Composites Characterisation Equipment (Structural Integrity) that will include: - A phased array acquisition module able to detect wrinkles, resin-rich areas, impact damage, voids, porosity, cracks, delamination, and disbonds - A probe to analyse plate-like materials with high accuracy - A near-wall probe to analyse components with radius and/or complex geometry - A fixed array probe for the analysis of complex geometries ## Notice URLs - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - http://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000529909 - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
