Newcastle University seeks the supply, installation, and maintenance of a high-resolution maskless aligner for its new Great Northeast Nanofab facility. No special requirements are stated.

Description from the notice

The scope of this tender covers the supply, delivery, installation and ongoing maintenance of a high resolution maskless aligner for UV (375 nm) photolithography within the new Great Northeast Nanofab (GNN) facility. The GNN is a new micro/nanofabrication clean room, hosted at Newcastle University. The intention is for the GNN to act as a regional open-access clean room for academia and low TRL commercial developments, allowing other universities and sites to specialise in a hub-and-spoke model. High-resolution photolithography has been identified as a critical capability gap at the GNN. This procurement is externally funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
