This tender is currently in the planning stage and aims to procure goods specifically for the production of high-temperature dies used in titanium components. Key deadlines include a future notice date set for 2nd November 2020. The procurement method is a competitive tendering process covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). This opportunity allows businesses specialising in high-precision manufacturing, particularly those with experience in working with high-temperature alloys and non-destructive testing, to engage in a significant contract. Companies that have demonstrated proven capabilities in casting, machining, and quality assurance of high-strength materials will be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract’s requirements highlight the need for reliability and technical expertise, making it an excellent fit for established manufacturers in the engineering and advanced materials sector seeking to expand their portfolios. ## Notice This contract will include the manufacture and supply of a a hot forming die. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Requirement 1.This contract will include the manufacture of a a hot forming die. It will also include the manufacture of four guide blocks and two locators pins. 2.The approximate size of each of the two die halves (i.e. upper and lower) will be 70" x 22" x 10". 3.The approximate size of each of the four the guide blocks will be 2.5" x 4.5" x 10.5". 4.The approximate size of each of the two locator pins will be 1" DIA x 3". 5.The dies and guide blocks and locator pins will be used in a hot forming process. 6.The dies and guide blocks and locator pins will be used to form titanium components. 7.The alloy used to manufacture the dies will have to present high strength, high creep resistance, high oxidation and wear resistance at high temperature, up to approximately 1650 degF (900 degC). 8.In order to prove the suitability of the proposed material for the application, evidence of materials properties will be required (e.g. strength, creep resistance, coefficient of thermal expansion, etc) 9.The contract will include the casting of the metallic dies, guide blocks, and also the machining of those castings and locator pins to their final geometry. 10.Proven experience casting the high temperature alloy selected to manufacture the dies, guide blocks and locator pins will be required. 11.Proven experience manufacturing similar high temperature dies will be required. 12.Evidence of suitable non-destructive testing will be required to prove the desired quality of the final components. 13.The dimensional tolerances for the die halves, guide blocks and locator pins are ranging from +- 0.1" to +- 0.01" ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT397319 | | 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 | 15 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Nov 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 - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42635000 - Die-stamping machines ## Release History - 15 Oct 2020 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT397319 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT397319 Manufacture and Supply of a Hot Forming Die - This contract will include the manufacture and supply of a a hot forming die. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000633431 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=633431 - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/esop/pts-host/public/pts/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
