## Summary

Cardiff University is seeking to procure a Large Scale Photolithography Spray Coater for use in the education sector, located in Cardiff, UK. The procurement process was initiated as an open tender under an accelerated procedure to meet tight project timelines, with the award completion date having been signed on 30th January 2019. The contract, valued at £193,500, is currently active and relates to goods necessary for coating flexible polypropylene substrates with precision. The procurement involved two bids, one from a foreign supplier outside the EU and the other from an EU entity.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specializing in advanced manufacturing and coating technologies. Businesses with expertise in photolithography systems, especially those that can demonstrate capability in offering fully-enclosed, high-precision spray coating systems, would be particularly well-placed to compete. Additionally, suppliers capable of rapid production and installation processes may find a competitive edge, given Cardiff University's requirement for expedited delivery and commissioning of the equipment.

## Notice

A stand-alone, fully-enclosed spray coating system for coating ring mounted flexible polypropylene substrates with photoresist over a diameter of 900mm. The thickness of the photoresist should be uniform to within 100nm over the full substrate area but should also be variable between 500nm and 1800nm. Physical proof of capability will be required for either Shipley S1813 photoresist or AZ P4110. The flexible substrate would typically be 25um polypropylene and be supported on an aluminium ring. The system should also be able to coat standard silicon wafer substrates or quartz to the same uniformity.
