## Summary

The University of Bristol is currently in the tender stage of procuring a "Die Bonding System," under the industry category of "Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)." This open procedure below the threshold is designed to acquire a die attach/bonding system capable of conducting various bonding processes for prototyping and light production runs. The tender, which was published on 1st July 2026, is active and open for submissions until 16th July 2026. The project, valued at £215,000, is set for delivery across locations including British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom. The procurement process prioritises SMEs and is expected to commence on 27th July 2026, concluding on 31st August 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in precision laboratory equipment, particularly those with capabilities in developing semi-automated systems with recipe storage for reproducibility. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in providing customised bonding systems may find this project particularly lucrative, owing to the emphasis on flexibility and precision in operations. Companies within the United Kingdom and broader Europe will have a strategic advantage, considering the project's location requirements and the open procurement method designed to encourage diverse participation.

## Notice

Funding is available to purchase a die attach/bonding system capable of performing a wide range of bonding processes, including ultrasonic, flip-chip, and UV curing, which is suitable for prototyping and light production runs. As a result, a crucial aspect for any die attach system under is the ability to be used for bonding runs as small as a single die should this be required. This stipulation lends itself to a semi-automated (i.e. motorised) system, ideally with the capacity to store process recipes to maximise reproducibility should the system be used for light production runs.
