## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking tenders for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a high-precision optical measuring microscope, with a total budget of £181,000. This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, specifically designed to ensure quality assurance for printed circuits and flexible printed films. The tender is currently in the active stage with a closing date for submissions set for 1st February 2019, and the contract period is expected to run from 11th February 2019 to 10th February 2023. The project is categorised under the open procedure method, which allows broader participation in the bidding process.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of laboratory and precision equipment, especially those capable of providing advanced measuring technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate, given the emphasis on collecting quality assurance tools for intricate electronic components. Companies that specialise in optical instrumentation, quality control solutions, and precision engineering can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence and collaborate within the growing field of advanced manufacturing.

## Notice

CPI has a requirement to add a bench top optical & video measuring microscope to its toolset. The tool will be used for the quality assurance of incoming printed circuits, checking the printed result against design specifications. It will also be used to check device integration accuracy and inspection for defects on flexible printed films. This system will be a stand-alone tool and will be used to test a variety of flexible printed films for QA and defect analysis. Once these films are integrated with SMD and other functional devices, they will be checked for placement accuracy and any defects. The tool should be of high accuracy with repeatable measurement capability on difficult to view components on flexible films from opaque to transparent.
