## Summary

The University of Glasgow is procuring works to install a general-purpose Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) etch system. The contractor will prepare the designated installation area and provide the required hook-up, facilitisation and mechanical installation. This is a specialist scientific-installation project, classified under CPV 45214630. The work is to be delivered in Glasgow. The requirement is presented as one contract covering the installation of the ICP etch tool, rather than separate supply and installation packages. It will suit contractors able to coordinate site preparation, services connections and mechanical installation for complex laboratory or research equipment. The University is the buying organisation and has included community-benefit expectations, including employment or training opportunities, workforce upskilling, supply-chain development and opportunities for SMEs, third-sector organisations or supported businesses.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. At least three candidates were to be invited to the second stage, with successive reduction permitted; the buyer also reserved the right to award on initial bids without further negotiation. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with no variants allowed, by 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 180 days, with no renewal or options. Evaluation is based on technical specification at 55%, delivery, installation and acceptance at 15%, and price at 30%. The tender includes electronic ordering and allows electronic invoicing and payment. Selection requires accounts showing at least one year’s turnover of £300,000, plus specified insurance cover.

This opportunity suits an established specialist installation contractor with experience preparing facilities and installing inductively coupled plasma etch equipment or comparable scientific and research systems. Bidders need the financial capacity to show at least one year of accounts with annual turnover of £300,000. Required insurance includes product liability cover of at least £1 million, public liability cover of at least £5 million, employers’ liability cover of at least £5 million and professional indemnity cover of at least £1 million. Strong technical capability will be important because the technical specification carries most of the evaluation weighting, alongside proven control of delivery, installation and acceptance. Suppliers are also expected to propose community benefits, such as training, employment, education support, inclusive supply-chain opportunities or work with schools, colleges and universities.
