Summary of the contracting process

The University of Northumbria at Newcastle has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of a Thin Film Sputtering Fabrication Facility (TF-FAB) valued at £1,055,800. This tender falls under the industry category of Laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 20th June 2023. The contract period will run from 3rd July 2023 to 31st August 2023. The University is the buying organisation, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East, United Kingdom.

This opportunity presents a chance for businesses specializing in precision equipment to satisfy the University's needs for thin film fabrication. Companies offering dual chamber sputtering systems and associated equipment would be well-suited to compete. The project aims to foster collaboration between academia and industry, opening avenues for research and innovation in energy materials and coatings. Businesses with expertise in oxide and compound materials, as well as metal-based coatings, are encouraged to engage with the University in this innovative procurement process.

Notice Title

T22/0036 - Thin Film Sputtering Fabrication Facility (TF-FAB)

Notice Description

The University wishes to create a new thin film magnetron sputtering facility for the fabrication of energy materials, biocompatible and functional coatings. TF-FAB provides a platform for researchers to develop new inorganic thin films for energy materials, biocompatible and functional coatings. It supports unprecedented recent growth in thin film research at Northumbria University (NU). TF-FAB provides a transformational capacity increase in thin film fabrication and will create new collaborative opportunities between academia and industry. We are looking for a dual chamber sputtering system and interconnecting load lock. We are looking for maximum flexibility (hardware and software) and also an upgradable system. We anticipate that one chamber will be more geared towards the deposition of oxide and compound materials (chamber 1) while the other would be more metal focus, including diamond like carbon coatings and titanium based alloys (chamber 2).
