This procurement falls within the goods category and is intended for installation in the nanofabrication cleanroom located at the Highfield campus in Southampton (SO17 1BJ). The tender period is set to conclude on 16th February 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 12th March 2018 and run until 25th January 2019. Interested suppliers must download tender documents electronically via the University’s designated e-tendering portal and complete the necessary Pre-Qualification Questionnaire by the specified deadline. This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for companies specialising in the supply of advanced scientific instruments, particularly those experienced in cleanroom environments and nanofabrication technology. Businesses that manufacture or distribute analytical or testing instruments, and those with expertise in safe equipment design that includes user safeguards, would be particularly well-suited to submit a tender. Given the specialised nature of the equipment required, suppliers offering innovative technological solutions and robust support services will likely have a competitive advantage in this procurement process. ## Notice The Zepler Institute (ZI) is a multidisciplinary research centre that brings together the University's expertise in photonics, quantum technologies and nanoscience. The ZI has two main roles firstly, to increase the diversity and extent of cross-disciplinary research and the related funding, and secondly, to develop and manage the clean rooms. The Zepler Institute (ZI), University of Southampton has secured funds to purchase a resist processing station for use in state of the art nanofabrication research. A new resist processing station is required to be installed in the nanofabrication cleanroom located in: University of Southampton, Highfield, Southampton, SO17 1BJ. It is intended for use by a variety of users, ranging from inexperienced PhD students to experienced process engineers so must be of sufficient design to include necessary safeguards, either hardware or software, to prevent inadvertent damage to the tool.
