OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is seeking tenders for the LRDC Engineers Framework, a multi-lot framework in the education industry, located in Edinburgh. This procurement process, currently in the Tender stage, has a submission deadline set for 11th September 2017. The tender encompasses various categories of services including PCB Layout and Production, Optical Design, Software Development, and Mechanical Prototyping, and operates under a selective procurement method with electronic submission as the required application process.

This framework presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in electronics, optical engineering, software development, and mechanical prototyping to expand their client base. Companies with expertise in high-frequency PCB designs, optical component systems, firmware and software engineering, as well as mechanical design and manufacturing, will find this tender particularly relevant. The competitive tender process aims to ensure quality service delivery and sustainability, and participating firms can benefit from the potential to secure long-term contracts with the University of Edinburgh, which may also extend the contract durations beyond the initial terms.

Notice Information

Notice Title

LRDC Engineers Framework, MultiLot Framework

Notice Description

Multilot framework to include PCB Layout and Production,Optical Design and Manufacture,Firm and software development, System and Mechanical Prototyping

Lot Information

PCB Layout

LOT 1 PCB Layout We would require that PCB designs are created from circuit schematics. The circuit schematics might be of high speed/high bandwidth photodetectors, digital interconnects between microprocessors/ADCs/DACs/FPGAs etc., low noise power supplies, high linearity/high bandwidth LED/LASER driver circuits etc. The expertise required would be that of high speed, high bandwidth design focused on signal integrity. We are looking for designs that can support SNR levels of 30+ dB. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There will be a option to extend each LOT by 1 x 12 month periods

PCB Production

The PCB layouts referred to in LOT 1 would be manufactured and (less often) populated. We are looking for quality over quantity, as well as capability for rigid and flexible PCBs ideally, with focus on rigid ones. We would be manufacturing small number of prototypes for each design, but potentially a medium volume of different prototypes every month.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There will be a option to extend on a per lot basis by 1 x 12 month extensions

Optical Component Design and Manufacture

Lot 3: Optical Component Design and Manufacture We are looking for subsystem delivery. What that means is multi-component optical systems that achieve given parameters. Preferably delivered in a custom mounting solution that works for our particular use.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There will be an option to extend on a per lot basis by 1 x 12 month extensions

Engineering Resources for Firmware/Software Development

Lot 4: Engineering Resources for Firmware/Software Development We are looking to have ad-hoc use of engineers to work on projects as required. In particular we are looking for analog designers, opto-electronic engineers, firmware engineers and software engineers. The analog designers would have to be experienced in low noise circuits, high bandwidth circuits, and/or digital signal processing platforms. The opto-electronic engineers would be experienced in high speed optical detectors, high sensitivity optical detectors, and low noise optical detectors. The firmware engineers would be experienced in signal processing communication applications, low level driver/interface support for Ethernet, USB etc. The software engineers would also preferably have experience in communications, and be able to build the upper layers of the communication stack for use with LiFi. On occasion we might need software engineers specialized in developing applications for mobile platforms i.e. iOS, Android etc.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There will be an option to extend on a per lot basis by 1 x 12 month extensions

Firmware/Software Development

Lot 5: Firmware/Software Development Firmware and software would need to be developed to support our platform development. As part of that higher layers of the communication protocol stack would need be implemented/adapted for use with lower PHY and MAC layers developed internally. Device drivers to enable support of our developed platforms on a variety of OSs would need implemented as well. Application specific software would also be required in order to enable demonstrator functionality as well.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There will be an option to extend on a per lot basis by 1 x 12 month extensions

LiFi System Prototyping

Lot 6: LiFi System Prototyping Complete LiFi system prototyping based on a defined system architecture and performance specification might be required. Capability spanning all other lots would be required in order to deliver satisfactory results.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There will be an option to extend on a per lot basis by 1 x 12 month extensions

Mechanical Prototyping

Lot 7: Mechanical Prototyping Mechanical design and manufacturing work will be required for enclosure design, as well as optics mounting apparatus. The work will span system design, 3D printing, as well as precision (order of 0.1 mm accuracy, which should be relatively straightforward) component manufacturing. We would require waterproof enclosures as well as weatherproof ones in addition to more traditional ones.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Renewal: There will be an option to extend on a per lot basis by 1 x 12 month extensions
