OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde is buying a high-accuracy motion control and imaging system, including its supply, delivery and installation. The equipment will support the National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging, an industry-led facility intended to connect UK device design with domestic high-volume semiconductor packaging, testing and metrology. The requirement is for goods used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing and research, with the wider aim of reducing reliance on overseas outsourced semiconductor assembly and test facilities, shortening lead times and protecting intellectual property. Delivery is in Glasgow. The procurement is relevant to manufacturers, systems integrators and specialist suppliers of precision motion-control, imaging and semiconductor equipment that can provide and install a complete operational system.

The buyer invited offers through a tender using an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids had to be submitted by 7 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were opened at the same time and evaluation was scheduled to begin then. The contract period is 720 days, with a possible further 12-month renewal if maintenance and warranty are required. The buyer may also request additional deliveries for partial replacement or extensions to existing supplies and installations. There is one lot. Evaluation gives quality 60% and price 40%. Bids must remain valid for 180 days and be submitted in English. Electronic payment and ordering are supported, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This opportunity suits suppliers with demonstrated expertise in precision motion-control and imaging systems, particularly where equipment must be integrated, delivered and installed for advanced semiconductor or other high-accuracy technical environments. Bidders must provide three examples showing relevant experience in delivering the required equipment. The buyer is looking for an established organisation with sufficient financial resilience to protect delivery and the supply chain, alongside the ability to maintain employer’s liability, public and product liability, and professional indemnity insurance at the required levels. Suppliers able to provide ongoing maintenance and warranty support, handle replacement or extension equipment, and meet the operational demands of a specialist research and manufacturing facility are well placed to compete.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply, Delivery and Installation of High Accuracy Motion Control and Imaging System

Notice Description

Background The UK urgently requires a sovereign, open-access advanced semiconductor packaging capability to close a well-evidenced market failure. Today, UK innovators in photonics and power electronics rely on overseas Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facilities for scaling to volume packaging, which fragments the supply chain, extends lead times, increases Intellectual Property (IP) leakage risk, and exposes critical technologies to geopolitical disruption. The National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging (NCASP) is the missing link that converts research excellence into manufacturable products. NCASP is creating an integrated, industry-led scale-up facility that connects UK device design to domestic, high-volume packaging, test and metrology - reducing time-to-market and anchoring value onshore. Description The University of Strathclyde has a requirement for a High Accuracy Motion Control and Imaging System.
