Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult Limited is currently seeking to procure a semi-automatic wire bonder to enhance their Advanced Packaging Laboratory located in Newport, Wales. With a tender ID of ICT-2020-040, this project falls under the industry category of Electrical equipment and apparatus and is positioned in the procurement stage of planning. The tender is open until 25th November 2020, with an estimated budget range of £40,000 to £60,000. The delivery and installation of the system are expected to be completed by January 2021.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing of electrical and laboratory equipment, particularly those capable of providing modular and flexible solutions for prototype assembly and testing. Businesses that specialise in wire bonding technology or related fields would be well-suited to compete, as the project aims to increase the Catapult's R&D capabilities and reduce bottlenecks in their current operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to express interest in this opportunity.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Semi-Automatic Wire Bonder

Notice Description

The Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult is looking to create a modular, flexible, accelerated prototype package assembly and test facility for RF, Photonics, and Power compound semiconductor devices, modules and systems. This would allow experimentation, feasibility, proof of concept and small prototype volume build. As part of the package assembly research and development methodology we are looking to increase our capacity with wire bonding. We currently have a Hesse BJ653 with five bondheads to provide the capability to bond in a variety of applications. This includes fine wire bonding - ball-wedge, wedge-wedge and stud bumping using gold and aluminium wires. There are heavy wire and ribbon capabilities too with aluminium and copper bondwire. While the flexibility of this platform is inline with our current and future requirements it has also become a bottle neck as a number of CR&D projects and commercial activities require access to the system. The Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult intends to purchase a semi-automatic wire bonder for use at the Advanced Packaging Laboratory at the Innovation Centre in Newport. This will increase capacity and provide additional flexibility to our scheduling for project and commercial activities. The estimated budget range for the contract is PS40,000 - PS60,000. This is the estimated maximum value covering related future services and options. The manufacturer/authorised vendor shall install the system at the Innovation Centre, CSA Catapult, by January 2021. Additional information: To express interest in this opportunity and receive the procurement documents, please email procurement@csa.catapult.org.uk with the reference ICT-2020-040 in the subject field.
