## Summary

The University of Bath is in the process of procuring two separate deposition tools—an Electron Beam Evaporator (E-beam) and a Thermal Evaporator—for its David Bullett Nanofabrication Facility. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period set to end on 29 April 2020 at 14:00. The location for delivery is specified as the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the contract is anticipated to begin on 11 May 2020, lasting until 10 June 2020. The procurement categorisation falls under goods and is identified by the CPV code for machines and apparatus with individual functions.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate, as the contracting authority considers the projects may be suitable for them. Businesses specializing in the manufacturing or supply of advanced deposition equipment or related machinery, particularly those with competitive pricing and value propositions, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies that can demonstrate capability in delivering advanced technologies within a tight timeframe may enhance their chances in the selection process.

## Notice

Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: Conditions for opening of tenders Instead of: 15 April 2020 Time: 14:00 Read New: 29 April 2020 Time: 14:00 Other additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The University of Bath requires two separate deposition tools for the David Bullett Nanofabrication Facility; an Electron Beam Evaporator (E-beam) and a Thermal Evaporator (Thermal). The University is open to tenders for the two systems from differing suppliers. However, we may also consider purchasing both machines from the same supplier if this offers the best value.
