The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with anticipated communication about the tender to commence on 13th November 2020. This process falls within the goods category and is associated with the education sector, taking place in Glasgow, UK. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the manufacturing of advanced testing equipment, particularly those specialising in cryogenic technology or materials testing. Companies capable of delivering scientific instruments that can perform both tensile and compression testing in low-temperature conditions will find this opportunity particularly advantageous. Furthermore, businesses familiar with the specific requirements of superconducting materials will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) require a cryogenic material tester for superconductors to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University require notes of interest for the below potential tender opportunity. National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) require a cryogenic material tester for superconductors. This equipment is required to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load. The testing needs to cover tensile with a temperature range of Room Temperature down to 4 Kelvin. The machine also needs to be able to perform tensile and compression testing on non superconductor samples from RT to 4 Kelvin. High level requirements: - must be able to test both superconductors and perform tensile testing of regular material samples - must have the ability to perform tensile testing of superconducting tapes, cylindrical and dog-bone samples - must have the ability to accurately measure temperature and control the temperature ramp rate of 2K/minute covering the 4 Kelvin to room temperature range - must be able to test superconducting materials under electrical load of 1000A DC ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV399430 | | 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 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 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 - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 31000000 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 31300000 - Insulated wire and cable - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 38800000 - Industrial process control equipment and remote-control equipment ## Release History - 9 Nov 2020 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV399430 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV399430 Supply, delivery and commissioning of Cryogenic Materials Tester for Super Conducting Cables - National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) require a cryogenic material tester for superconductors to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000635413 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=635413 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
