Coverage: 65 active published awards; 55 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The School of Physics and Astronomy requires a UV nanoimprint lithography system with capability to replicate sub-micron scale structures in thin films of commercial photoresits, custom-designed photoresists and organic semiconductors. The system must have capability to align both nanoimprint stamps and photolithography masks to existing features on a sample.
The unit must come with toolings for holding both soft stamps for nanoimprint lithography and photomasks for conventional UV photolithography, and sample chucks suitable for a range of sample sizes from 10 mm x 10 mm chips to full wafers.
