The requirement is for a specialist contractor able to install this semiconductor or research-processing equipment and make the associated area ready for operation. The work will be delivered in Glasgow, for the University of Glasgow. It is classified as construction work for research buildings (CPV 45214630). The contract also covers the practical installation activities needed to connect and commission the system, rather than the supply of a general construction project. Electronic ordering and payment arrangements apply, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The requirement includes community-benefit commitments such as training, employment, skills development and opportunities for smaller subcontractors. The procurement reached tender: the University invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation, using a two-stage process with at least three candidates and successive reduction. The buyer set 14 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC as the submission deadline; invitations for the next stage were scheduled for 14 September 2026. The contract period is 180 days. Bids are evaluated on technical specification quality, weighted at 55%, and price, weighted at 30%. Variants are not allowed. Economic selection requires at least one year of accounts showing annual turnover of £300,000. Tenderers must also hold product liability insurance of £1,000,000, public liability insurance of £5,000,000, employer’s liability insurance of £5,000,000 and professional indemnity insurance of £1,000,000. This opportunity suits specialist equipment-installation contractors with experience preparing controlled or technically demanding installation areas and completing the hook-up, facilities provision and mechanical installation of ICP etch systems or comparable research and semiconductor-processing equipment. Suppliers need the technical capability to interpret the specification, coordinate mechanical and service connections, and deliver the installation within a defined project period. The selective process is aimed at capable contractors rather than unrestricted participation, with a minimum of three candidates progressing to the second stage. Strong technical proposals matter more than price alone because quality carries the largest stated weighting. Businesses should also be ready to demonstrate financial standing, robust risk management and the required insurance cover, and to offer credible community benefits through training, employment, workforce development or supply-chain opportunities. ## Notice PURCH3014 Provision of Installation of ICP Etch Tool ### Lot Information Lot 1 PURCH3014 Provision of Contract Agreement for Installation of ICP Etch Tool The University has a requirement for a contractor for the preparation of the designated installation area and for the hook-up, facilitisation, and mechanical installation of a general-purpose Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) etch system.
