Source:	Find a Tender Service (FTS)
Notice Type:	Award notice
Buyer:	National Physical Laboratory
Main Category:	Goods
Procurement Method:	Negotiated without publication of a contract notice
Method Rationale:	NPL requires a universal cylindrical grinding machine that is suited to the wide-ranging geometries of components to be manufactured, in a large variety of engineering materials and appropriate for efficient use in producing bespoke parts as one-offs or in very low batch quantities. In addition to a high level of flexibility in accommodating part geometries, materials and manufacturing strategies the machine must be capable of high roundness accuracy with live spindle grinding of better than 0.0003mm and grinding straightness of 0.0025 over the 650mm stoke (or better). This supplier, Fritz Studer AG, provides published data for performance that meet the required accuracy levels with a machine fully appropriate for the bespoke one-off nature of work to be undertaken, in an non-CNC machine format. Manufacturers of quality cylindrical grinding machines have changed their offerings to mainly full CNC machines, the full CNC machine style does not meet our needs for flexibility and efficient production of one off components.
