The two Lots available were: - ITT\_1261: Forming Tool (Tender) The NCC require the design, manufacture and supply of a tool for a forming manufacturing process using dry fibre non-crimp fabric (NCF) of a complex aerospace component. The component is approximately 6000mm x 750mm and up to 20mm thick. It is expected that process development will be carried out on the same tooling for a smaller component. - ITT\_1263: RTM Tool (Tender) The NCC require the design, manufacture and supply of a tool for a Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) manufacturing process of two complex Thermoset composite aerospace components. The first component is approximately 6000mm x 750mm and up to 20mm thick, and the second at 1500mm x 650mm and up to 20mm thick. The smaller component is a shorter version of the main component and will be used to develop and prove out the full-scale manufacturing process and tooling concept. PLEASE NOTE: ITT\_1261 (Forming Tool) has not been awarded, due to budget restrictions and revisions in the technical requirements not yet fully defined. ## CPV classification Tools Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/c5559075-0b5a-4e68-ab55-0c37b4387d54) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
