What is being bought

The EPSRC National Epitaxy Facility (NEF) at the University of Sheffield supplies a wide range of III-V semiconductor materials and devices primarily to the UK academic research community. The NEF also engages in significant activity researching and developing new materials and structures. A key direction in this area is the heterogeneous integration of III-V and silicon based photonic and opto-electronic devices. For this purpose the NEF requires a full, turn-key micro transfer printing (MTP) system suitable for highly-accurate, large-scale, parallel transfer of devices from a source wafer to a target wafer. This system must meet all the essential technical requirements set out within the tender documents

Lot details

Lot 1

It is essential that the tool is easily configured to accommodate all standard wafer sizes up to 6 inch, and that the placement accuracy is +/- 2μm or better. The system must also come with at least 3 application-specific stamps. These can be collaboratively developed with NEF staff once the order for the tool is placed. Technical capabilities that extend beyond the minimum essential specifications would be welcomed where possible. Of particular interest is training and support to enable the EPSRC NEF to produce their own custom-designed application-specific stamps. Higher level of automation of the process is also desirable, including automatic cleaning of stamps and alignment of source and target patterns during transfer-printing.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting (31000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 312,7085 median · 49.4 average (953 of 2,708 with a bid count)5.7 average (1,126 of 2,708 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

These can be collaboratively developed with NEF staff once the order for the tool is placed.\nTechnical capabilities that extend beyond the minimum essential specifications would be welcomed where possible. Of particular interest is training and support to enable the EPSRC NEF to produce their own custom-designed application-specific stamps. Higher level of automation of the process is also desirable, including automatic cleaning of stamps and alignment of source and target patterns during transfer-printing.",

    "description": "The EPSRC National Epitaxy Facility (NEF) at the University of Sheffield supplies a wide range of III-V semiconductor materials and devices primarily to the UK academic research community. The NEF also engages in significant activity researching and developing new materials and structures. A key direction in this area is the heterogeneous integration of III-V and silicon based photonic and opto-electronic devices.\nFor this purpose the NEF requires a full, turn-key micro transfer printing (MTP) system suitable for highly-accurate, large-scale, parallel transfer of devices from a source wafer to a target wafer. This system must meet all the essential technical requirements set out within the tender documents.",
