## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is buying one Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition system, including its supply, delivery and installation. This is specialist laboratory, optical and precision equipment for the National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging, an industry-led facility intended to help UK photonics and power-electronics innovators move from device design to scalable domestic semiconductor packaging, testing and metrology. The equipment will support advanced packaging capability and reduce reliance on overseas outsourced semiconductor assembly and test facilities. Delivery is in Glasgow. The requirement is for goods, with electronic ordering and electronic payment arrangements available for the resulting contract. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with the expected benefits set out in the procurement documents.

The process has reached tender: the University invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot procurement, with bids submitted electronically in English and alternative bids not allowed. Offers had to be submitted by 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period is 720 days, with a possible 12-month renewal if maintenance and warranty are required. The buyer may also request additional deliveries for partial replacement, or extensions to existing supplies and installations. Evaluation is based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. Bids must remain valid for 180 days. Suppliers are expected to have average annual turnover of at least £1,200,000 over the previous three years and specified insurance cover.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, authorised suppliers and specialist systems integrators with experience delivering and installing inductively coupled plasma chemical vapour deposition equipment for semiconductor, photonics, power-electronics or comparable laboratory applications. Bidders must provide three examples demonstrating relevant experience in delivering the equipment described in the requirement. The successful supplier must be able to maintain, or commit to obtaining before contract commencement, employer’s liability insurance of £10 million, public and product liability insurance of £10 million, and professional risk indemnity insurance of £2 million. The buyer is seeking a financially established supplier able to protect continuity across its supply chain, provide installation and support, and meet the technical and quality demands of an advanced semiconductor packaging facility.

## 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 an Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition System.
