The University of Sussex (“Sussex”) is inviting expressions of interest for its upcoming

tender for Student Milling Machines.

The purpose of this engagement is for Sussex to gauge potential interest and obtain

process suppliers can provide feedback on certain aspects of the requirement. This exercise

aims to uncover opportunities and explore new ways of working for Sussex. We are eager to avoid inadvertently limiting potentially beneficial arrangement or excluding potentially viable

The School of Engineering and Informatics is preparing for the delivery the Degree

Apprenticeship MSc in Advanced Manufacturing.

The existing workshop contains some obsolete machinery and outdated equipment. It is not
