## Summary

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited is seeking suppliers for the "Supply, Delivery Installation and Commissioning of an Optical Measuring Microscope". This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a total contract value of £181,000. The procurement method employed for this tender is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 1st February 2019. The contract is set to commence on 11th February 2019 and will run until 10th February 2023, with delivery anticipated in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of optical and precision instruments, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who can offer high-accuracy equipment. Companies that specialise in quality assurance technologies, including those focusing on tailored measurement solutions for flexible printed films and printed circuit boards, will find a strong fit and potential for growth through participation in this contract.

## 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.
