## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located at 40 George Street, Glasgow, has initiated a procurement process for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of a de-powdering unit, primarily relevant to the education sector. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, and the tender is currently in the award stage following its completion status, with the contract awarded on 16 December 2020. The total contract value is £73,165, and interested suppliers were invited to submit bids electronically until the deadline of 6 November 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in manufacturing equipment for the educational and additive manufacturing sectors.

All the necessary processing steps should be carried out within a safe and secure enclosed chamber. The unit should have the necessary safety ratings so that it can handle even reactive metal powders such as Titanium. The de-powdering unit shall be housed at the laser powder bed facility at K-Block and is likely to be moved to be housed permanently the new NMIS facility when the construction of it is complete.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
