## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, is currently in the tender stage for a project titled "Supply, Delivery and Installation of High Accuracy Motion Control and Imaging System." This procurement, classified under the education industry category, aims to address the UK's need for an advanced semiconductor packaging capability. The open procurement method is being used, with electronic submissions required by 12:00 on 7th September 2026. The procurement procedure will result in awards starting from the same date, highlighting the university's urgency to enhance its capabilities in semiconductor packaging with an emphasis on local value generation while mitigating geopolitical risks.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specializing in high-precision motion control and imaging systems. It would be particularly appealing to businesses with experience in semiconductor packaging, photonics, and power electronics, and those looking to expand their foothold in the educational technology sector. The contract also promises potential for additional deliveries and renewals, making it lucrative for companies with robust financial health and a proven track record in delivering similar projects. The tender's focus on quality and price as award criteria further broadens the appeal to companies prioritizing innovation and value creation.

## 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.
