Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) organisation has completed a procurement process titled "UKRI-3927 Wafers and Tooling" in the microelectronics category. The procurement aimed to acquire microelectronic machinery and apparatus (CPV code: 31712000) for delivery to Oxfordshire (region code: UKJ14). This process was conducted under a limited award procedure, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract, worth £111,692, was awarded on 21st March 2024, and the supplier for this contract is IMEC, a Belgian SME located in Leuven.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in microelectronics, particularly those capable of providing advanced machinery and tools. SMEs in the microelectronics industry, especially those with unique technological solutions or proprietary expertise, would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement exercises managed by UKRI in the future. The project's completion highlights the potential for specialised suppliers to secure contracts through direct award procedures when competitive alternatives are limited.
