The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and interested parties are encouraged to express their interest by 31 July 2020. This notice highlights the requirement for material specifications and delivery details to the centre located in Inchinnan, Scotland. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category with specific focus on high-quality materials, and it is governed by public law regulations. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the materials supply sector, particularly those specialising in high-performance alloys and metallurgical manufacturing. Companies that can meet stringent quality standards and provide certified materials will be well-positioned to compete. Firms with expertise in the manufacturing of advanced materials, particularly those experienced with Inconel718, and those who can manage the necessary testing and certification processes will find this contract especially relevant for business growth. ## Notice The Contracting Authority seeks notes of interest for a potential procurement exercise for the below requirement: The Advanced Forming Research Centre at the University of Strathclyde is seeking to purchase 2 off Inconel718 blocks for the manufacture of a set of upsetting dies. The required material size and quantities are: 2 off approx. 850mm x 710mm x 210mm, which will allow us to machine the parts to 840mm x 700mm x 200mm. The material must be in the forging and heat treated condition. Preferably solution annealed (927-982degC) plus precipitation hardening (720degC and 620degC both for 16 hours). The required Grain size of the material has to be in the ASTM range 6-8 and with a minimum reduction ratio of 4:1. The final material has to be inspected with Ultrasonic testing. There must be no presence of cracks and surface defects. A material property certificate including the mechanical properties (i.e. tensile strength and hardness) and chemical analysis as well as an inspection certificate must be provided. The offer has to include the delivery of the material to the AFRC in Inchinnan (Scotland). Potential tenderers who believe they can fulfil the above requirement are asked to note their interest in order to be involved in the potential pre-tender engagement. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Potential tenderers are asked to review the high level requirement provided on this PIN and note their interest against the notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL390099 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - 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 | 9 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jul 2020 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | 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 - 14 - Mining, basic metals and related products ### Codes - 14600000 - Metal ores and alloys ## Release History - 9 Jul 2020 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL390099 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL390099 Supply and Delivery of IN718 for the Advanced Forming Research Centre - The Contracting Authority seeks notes of interest for a potential procurement exercise for the below requirement: The Advanced Forming Research Centre at the University of Strathclyde is seeking to purchase 2 off Inconel718 blocks for the manufacture of a set of upsetting dies.
