Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford has awarded a contract for laser microlithography equipment with a value of £135,000 to Durham Magneto Optics Ltd. This procurement, falling under the "Lasers" CPV category, aims to acquire equipment capable of using ultraviolet light to create bespoke patterns on wafer surfaces. The equipment must handle both small chips and full-sized wafers, write large block areas in a single exposure, and align chips using fiducial marks. The procurement was done through an open procedure, and the equipment delivery deadline is set for November 2024, with the contract period starting on 31st October 2024 and ending on 30th November 2024. Queries or quotations were to be sent to Olivia Ward from the University of Salford by 12 noon on 13th September 2024.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses in the laser and optical equipment industry. Companies specialising in advanced photolithography techniques, particularly SMEs, are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements, thereby expanding their market and demonstrating their capability in high-precision technology. The open procurement method ensures a transparent and competitive process, making it an excellent opportunity for niche technology providers to establish a business relationship with a prominent educational institution like the University of Salford.
