This is being tendered in parallel with this tender process.  \nThe furnace is a 656kW kiln used for firing the ceramic shells used for investment casting.  This will need modification/upgrading to be capable of operating with different blends of hydrogen and natural gas.\nIt is imperative that the conversion of our furnace includes interaction with the control system of the decarburisation equipment to comply with H\u0026S requirements for emergency situations.   \nTender Process and Documentation:\nThis procurement is an EU open procedure conducted in accordance with the Procurement ACT 2023.\nThe ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University`s e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield\nIf 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 https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield\nClosing date for the tender return is on November 11, 2025 at 12 noon (UK time).",
