Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process orchestrated by Heriot-Watt University involves the acquisition of dielectric deposition systems under an open procedure. This project, titled "Purchase of Dielectric Deposition Systems," focuses on the goods category, specifically laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The location of implementation is Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton Campus, Edinburgh, UK. The procurement reached the award stage on 9th June 2025 with Moorfield Nanotechnology Limited being awarded the contract for the "Magnetron Sputter PVD System" worth £117,838.4. The submission deadline for tenders was 4th April 2025 at 12:00 PM, and the process adhered to the regulations set forth by the European Union's legal framework, specifically CELEX:32014L0024.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth to suppliers in the laboratory and precision equipment industry, particularly those specializing in dielectric materials and physical vapour deposition technologies. Businesses with a strong technical foundation in these areas, alongside the capability to meet economic expectations such as a minimum yearly turnover of £480,000 and robust insurance coverage requirements, are well suited to compete. This tender is particularly advantageous for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to establish or expand their presence in the UK academic sector. Additionally, the focus on open electronic submission makes it broadly accessible for potential bidders equipped for digital tendering.
