## About this tender

2065/395/MY/MG/18 - 5 Axis High Speed Machining Centre

The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a 5 axis machine tool on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Machining Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire.

### Scope of Requirement

This tender exercise is a re-publication of tender 1997/384/EML/AMRC/18 5 Axis High Speed Machining Centre which concluded without award due to failure in the specified lead time requirement.

This exercise is time critical; therefore tenderers are now required to state their best lead time for delivery, installation and commissioning.

The University seeks to purchase a 5 axis machine tool that will support the AMRC's research into high accuracy prismatic simultaneous milling applications.

As the machine will be utilised for research projects rather than production, the usage will be subject to frequent change to suit different projects. The solution should therefore be readily and rapidly changeable to work on multiple applications.

The machine tool will allow manufacture of components in various materials, primarily aluminium but not excluding alloy steel and stainless steels. The equipment should allow for machining with high pressure coolant.

Tender Process and Documentation:

This procurement is being conducted as an EU open procedure in accordance with the Regulations ( Public Contracts Regulations 2015).

The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University`s e-tendering system [in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield)

If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend System, this can be accessed at [in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield)

Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system.

Closing date for receipt of tenders: 10th September 2018 at 12 noon (UK time).
