## Summary

The University of Sheffield awarded a contract for a Micro Transfer Printing System on 6th February 2023. The University required this system for highly-accurate, large-scale transfer of devices. The contract value was £638,000, with a total contract period from 2nd January to 30th November 2023. The procurement was open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

This tender provides business growth opportunities for companies specializing in electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment, and consumables. Businesses offering services for electronic, electromechanical, and electrotechnical supplies might also find this opportunity suitable. The University of Sheffield, located in Yorkshire and the Humber, is the buying organisation for this procurement. The tender stage was active with a deadline for tender submissions on 8th November 2022, and a contract start date of 2nd January 2023.

## Notice

The EPSRC National Epitaxy Facility (NEF) at the University of Sheffield supplies a wide range of III-V semiconductor materials and devices primarily to the UK academic research community. The NEF also engages in significant activity researching and developing new materials and structures. A key direction in this area is the heterogeneous integration of III-V and silicon based photonic and opto-electronic devices. For this purpose the NEF requires a full, turn-key micro transfer printing (MTP) system suitable for highly-accurate, large-scale, parallel transfer of devices from a source wafer to a target wafer. This system must meet all the essential technical requirements set out within the tender documents. Additional information: All tender documents, correspondence & tender returns must be downloaded & submitted via the In-tend site from the link shown above.
