Summary of the contracting process

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is procuring two tuneable lasers for linewidth measurements. The lasers are required for beating with devices under test, with a primary focus on wavelengths at 780nm and 795nm. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' stage, with a contract period starting from 24th October 2023 and ending on 29th March 2024. The total contract value is GBP 33,740. The buying organisation, National Physical Laboratory, is situated in Teddington, England, and the industry category is laboratory, optical, and precision equipment.

This tender for tuneable lasers issued by the National Physical Laboratory presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those dealing with laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. With a contract period running until March 2024, businesses can leverage this opportunity for growth and collaboration with NPL in supplying the required tuneable lasers for linewidth measurements.

Notice Title

CAN: Procurement of Tuneable Lasers

Notice Description

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) requirement is for the supply of two tuneable lasers required for beating with devices under test as part of linewidth measurements. As NPL is developing the understanding of linewidth measurement techniques in the context of various applications involving many different laser types, lasers with a narrow linewidth and tuneability over a range of wavelengths are required to perform heterodyne measurements of the devices under test. The primary requirement is for two lasers, one at 780nm and one at 795nm as these are the two wavelengths of interest to us now with regards to this measurement. The other necessity is that these lasers will have a narrow linewidth narrower than 100kHz.
