## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is inviting tenders for the supply, delivery, and installation of a High Accuracy Motion Control and Imaging System, as part of an active procurement process. This tender, initiated under an open procedure, is classified under "Laboratory, optical and precision equipments" and primarily seeks providers of goods in the semiconductor industry. The contract, located in Glasgow, UK (region UKM82), is designed to address a market need for sovereign semiconductor packaging solutions. Bidders should note key dates: the tender closing date is 7th September 2026 at 12:00 PM. Community benefits are included in the procurement, and details can be found in the procurement documents.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in advanced precision equipment and semiconductor technology, particularly those possessing experience in high-accuracy motion control and imaging systems. Companies with a strong financial background and relevant industry experience, as evidenced by a minimum average annual turnover of £518,000 over the past three years, are well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity. With a potential contract period of up to two years and optional extensions, successful suppliers can expect to collaborate closely with the University to advance the UK's capabilities in semiconductor packaging, offering a substantial growth opportunity within the sector.

## Notice

Background The UK urgently requires a sovereign, open-access advanced semiconductor packaging capability to close a well-evidenced market failure. Today, UK innovators in photonics and power electronics rely on overseas Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facilities for scaling to volume packaging, which fragments the supply chain, extends lead times, increases Intellectual Property (IP) leakage risk, and exposes critical technologies to geopolitical disruption. The National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging (NCASP) is the missing link that converts research excellence into manufacturable products. NCASP is creating an integrated, industry-led scale-up facility that connects UK device design to domestic, high-volume packaging, test and metrology - reducing time-to-market and anchoring value onshore. Description The University of Strathclyde has a requirement for a High Accuracy Motion Control and Imaging System.
