Summary of the contracting process

The National Physical Laboratory, located in Teddington, England, recently initiated a procurement process for a Request for Quotation regarding a Thermal Cycle Chamber, classified under the goods category (CPV code: 38000000). However, the tender has been withdrawn and will not result in an awarded contract. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation, which concluded on 22nd July 2019, and the contract was set to run from 2nd August 2019 to 2nd July 2020.

This tender presents potential opportunities for businesses in the laboratory and precision equipment sector, particularly those with expertise in thermal testing and electronic circuit reliability. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this area appealing, especially as NPL indicated future RFQs may arise. Businesses that specialise in innovative metrology, high-temperature materials testing, or offer solutions for electric and hybrid systems may be particularly well-suited to compete in upcoming procurement opportunities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Request for Quotation - Thermal Cycle Chamber Non-Award

Notice Description

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are having to withdraw this procurement, effective immediately, and will not be awarding a contract for this RFQ. We are likely to be running a further RFQ in future and notices will be published if this arises. The NPL requirement is to test thermo-mechanical reliability of electronic circuits by subjecting them to regular thermal excursions across an extended operational range. The tests we will run will be used by most electricals with high reliability and electrical system manufacturers for their type approval testing. Similar systems are used within the industry to provide fitness for purpose testing for new designs and material combinations. The innovative metrology developed by NPL for high temperature materials and manufacturing techniques, is required for electric and hybrid development, oil/gas, and aerospace partners. This is required for benchmarking against these widely accepted industry standards.
