## Summary

Swansea University is in the process of awarding a contract for the supply of a metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) reactor intended for a new research centre focusing on oxide and chalcogenide semiconductor materials. This procurement falls under the category of goods, with the contract value set at £1,395,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the contract was signed on 27th October 2021. The reactor will be based at the Swansea University Bay Campus, an ongoing project aimed to support cutting-edge semiconductor research and technological applications.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities particularly for businesses involved in scientific equipment manufacturing and those specialising in semiconductor technologies. Companies with a focus on providing high-quality machinery for research and development, as well as those with expertise in the production of oxide and chalcogenide materials for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications, would be well-placed to compete in this procurement. Their participation could help establish or strengthen partnerships in the academic and industrial sectors, enhancing their visibility in the UK’s innovation landscape.

## Notice

The metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) reactor will be installed in a new building for the Centre for Integrated Semiconductor Materials (CISM) (due for completion in Q1 2021) on the Swansea University Bay Campus. Over 140 m2 of specialist materials laboratory space will be allocated to the MOCVD reactor and complementary materials and characterisation equipment from Professor Irvine's laboratory. This new laboratory will be managed by Professor Irvine's team to provide high quality oxide and chalcogenide compound semiconductors (CSs) to our research partners in Swansea University, other UK universities, industrial partners and to international collaborators. This will put the UK at the forefront of new science and technology using oxide and chalcogenide CSs for applications including high efficiency photovoltaic solar cells, Light harvesting, quantum wire opto-electronic devices, piezoelectric energy harvesting, high breakdown voltage power electronic devices and light emitters.
