## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by NE1 Procurement Services Limited for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of an optical measuring microscope. This tender falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a value of £50,000 and a minimum value of £30,000. The tender period is currently active and will close on 21 December 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 21 January 2019 and will last until 20 January 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure suitable for all suppliers, although it has not been designated for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the precision equipment sector, particularly those specialising in optical and measuring technologies. Companies with capabilities in the production and provision of high-accuracy measuring tools, especially for quality assurance in printed circuit applications, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract could pave the way for enhanced visibility and growth within the market, as the successful bidder would be integral to the quality assurance processes at NE1 Procurement Services Limited.

## 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.
