Summary of the contracting process

The University of Warwick is purchasing a large-scale powder atomic layer deposition (PALD) tool for its Energy Innovation Centre and wider materials and manufacturing research and development activities within Warwick Manufacturing Group. This is a specialist laboratory and precision equipment supply requirement, with the equipment also classified under microelectronic machinery and apparatus. The buyer is the University of Warwick, based in Coventry, and the work is intended for its research and innovation facilities there. The requirement is for a complete PALD tool capable of meeting the specified technical and performance needs. It will support powder coating and materials-processing research at a scale suitable for the university’s wider manufacturing and research programmes.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English through the University of Warwick supplier portal. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 11 September 2026 at 23:59. The anticipated award decision date was 1 November 2026 at 23:59, and the contract period was 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The procurement records a gross value of £0; the single lot records a value of 0 AED. Evaluation is weighted 40% for ability to meet the specification and performance, 30% for total cost, 20% for after-sales services and warranty, and 10% for sustainability. The tender is above the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, specialist equipment suppliers and authorised distributors with experience delivering powder atomic layer deposition systems or closely related laboratory and precision processing equipment. Strong candidates will need to demonstrate that their proposed PALD tool meets the required technical specification and performance levels, and to support its use in demanding materials and manufacturing research and development. The evaluation gives greatest weight to technical compliance and performance, so suppliers with a well-evidenced solution and relevant engineering expertise are well placed. The requirement also favours businesses able to provide dependable after-sales service, warranty support and ongoing technical assistance. Suppliers should be able to address sustainability requirements as part of their offer and support delivery to a university research environment.
