## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is currently planning a procurement process titled "The Supply, Delivery and Installation of a Flat Strip Draw Tester (SDT)." This contract falls under the education industry category and is located in Glasgow, UK. The project aims to fulfil the needs of the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) by securing a qualified supplier to deliver, install, and commission the SDT. Interested tenderers must express their interest by 12:00 noon on 6th July 2022, with a contract value estimated at £200,000. This procurement uses a tender method and is classified under goods procurement.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers specialising in manufacturing equipment and technologies, particularly those with expertise in testing apparatus for metal forming processes. Businesses that can demonstrate the capability to design and supply innovative solutions tailored to specific technical requirements will be well-positioned to compete. Companies that offer integrated heating and cooling systems or who have experience with machining tools conducive to in-house manufacture may find this procurement particularly advantageous for growth.

## Notice

The National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) seeks a suitably qualified supplier to supply, deliver, install and commission a Flat Strip Draw Tester (SDT) for the purpose of investigating the tribology of sheet metal forming (SMF) processes. At present NMIS are willing to consider a range of designs to meet the specification ( for example, designs may take the form of double die and single die configurations). Given the above, NMIS requires the offered SDT solution to be equipped with the capabilities to simulate these. The capabilities of the offered solution shall include but not be limited to: Draw speeds within the range 100 mm s-1 (preferably >= 200 mm s-1) Nominal contact pressures within the range = 30 MPa Integrated specimen heating capabilities capable of >= 950 degC It is desirable that specimen heating capabilities enable controllable heating rates, with a minimum of = 100 degC Integrated tool cooling system to simulate e.g. operations that involve die quenching Tools should be conducive to in-house manufacture and from a range of materials i.e. plug-and-play friendly.
