    Brief

    The Contracting Authority is seeking qualified suppliers to provide material testing equipment for the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science. This opportunity consists of two independent lots: Lot 1 requires the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and ongoing support of a Universal Testing Machine; Lot 2 requires the same services for a Flexural Testing Machine. Suppliers may bid for either or both lots. Selected suppliers will be responsible for ensuring equipment is fully operational and providing technical support services. This is an ideal opportunity for equipment manufacturers or authorized distributors with experience in providing testing machines and after-sales support.
