## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process for the supply and delivery of an FPGA based configurable multi-instrument source and detector. With its focus in the education sector, this procurement addresses the need for a sovereign, open-access advanced semiconductor packaging capability in the UK, to mitigate reliance on overseas facilities. Located in Glasgow, the tender invites electronic submissions until 25th August 2026 at noon, with an anticipated award date the same day. This open procedure is classified under the goods industry category, with English as the language for submissions.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in semiconductor technology, photonics, and power electronics, particularly those with expertise in FPGA configurations. Firms that can showcase an average yearly turnover of at least £140,000 over the past three years and hold relevant insurances are positioned well to compete. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in scalable packaging solutions and integrated semiconductor systems may find this contract particularly rewarding. With the National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging part of this initiative, successful tenderers will contribute to a pivotal project designed to fortify the UK's standing in high-volume packaging and testing, promoting onshore technological advancements.

## 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 University of Strathclyde has a requirement for a FPGA based configurable multi instrument source and detector.
