Notice Title

(NU/1673) Supply of a two-photon polymerization based 3D printer with sub-micron lithography capabilities

Notice Description

The Physics department at Newcastle University have been honoured with an endowment from the estate of Lady Bertha Jeffreys Bequest, which also included funds from the estate of her late husband, Sir Harold Jeffreys. Bertha Swirles, Lady Jeffreys, (1903-1999) was an early pioneer in quantum and atomic physics. She made fundamental studies of electron interactions and helped develop the 'self-consistent field method' used widely today. The University has decided that the best way to invest the endowment and support the Jeffrey's legacy is to enhance our nano-lithography capability with 3D nano-scale printing capability. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance. The contract reference was NU/1673. The deadline for submitting a tender was Friday 18th June 2021 at 14:00 hours BST
