Supply, Delivery and Installation of Optical Alignment & Packaging System
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
The submission route named on the official notice.
University of Strathclyde publishes Laboratory & Precision Equipment work continuously — 44 notices, roughly one every 27 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
26% of University of Strathclyde’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
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 optical alignment and packaging system to perform various active and passive alignment functions for photonics packaging applications.
