The tendering process, using an open procedure, has been finalised, with the award being granted to Inseto (UK) Limited on 31st July 2024. The procurement, categorised under laboratory, optical and precision equipment in Southampton, Hampshire, UK, is valued at £205,000. The contract, spanning 1 year and 6 months, includes delivery, installation, a 1-year warranty, and complementary components supporting major themes such as Quantum Technologies and Advanced Manufacturing. This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses proficient in high-precision laboratory equipment, especially those focusing on advanced manufacturing, photonics, and quantum technologies. Companies specialising in machinery that supports semiconductor material processing, with capabilities to meet stringent technical criteria and high-quality standards, would find this tender particularly fitting. By enabling the development of cutting-edge research devices, such collaboration promises to drive innovation and long-term partnerships. With clear procurement steps and requirements, suppliers with robust financial standing and technical expertise are well-placed to benefit from such opportunities. ## Notice The University of Southampton seeks to acquire a complete dicing system for the University's optical and semiconductor materials processing capabilities for a number of high-impact projects in the major engineering themes of Quantum Technologies, Photonics and Advanced Manufacturing. This system is a replacement for the current dicing saw for Building 53 back-end of line cleanroom facility and an upgrade to meet the demands of current projects and technologies. Dicing is a fundamental part of the cleanroom and underpins a significant number of ongoing and future grants. The acquisition of this system will enable university researchers to machine surfaces and micron sized ridge structures with nanoscale surface roughness and low amounts of topside chipping in optical and semiconductor materials. This dicing machine will allow the fabrication of new devices that will tackle fundamental research problems in quantum light-matter interactions, quantum sensors, and telecommunications. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University of Southampton seeks to acquire a complete dicing system for the University's optical and semiconductor materials processing capabilities for a number of high-impact projects in the major engineering themes of Quantum Technologies, Photonics and Advanced Manufacturing.
