Notice Information

Notice Title

OJEU ITT - Dilution Refrigerator

Notice Description

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a new dilution refrigerator for measurements of superconducting circuits and high coherence superconducting qubits at millikelvin temperatures. The new system should be large enough to accommodate multiple samples, each one requiring multiple microwave and dc-lines. Furthermore, the system will host a scanning probe measurement (SPM) system meaning a low-vibration level at the mixing chamber is of utmost importance. The system will also be used for commercial services for which rapid turnaround and exchange of dedicated measurement line assemblies are required. Please note that funding for this procurement will not be confirmed until April 2019 at the latest. NPL entirely expects to receive full funding for this project and appreciates the tenderers discretion during the tender and awarding process. Order confirmation is therefore likely to be in April 2019 but may be before. NPL reserves the right to amend, add to or withdraw all, or any part of this ITT at any time during the procurement exercise. Additional information: The Authority is using the LUPC Bravo e-Tendering portal to conduct the procurement process. All Tenderers must register their company via the LUPC Bravo Portal. This can be done via the following link https://lupc.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml Any issues surrounding access and functionality of the LUPC Bravo System must be directed to Bravo Helpdesk on +44 800 069 8630 or email help@bravosolution.co.uk Delays in response as a result of technical difficulties will not assure that extensions to the bid submission date will be given. Where there are further issues, which Bravo Solutions cannot resolve then the associated Buyer at NPL can be emailed at James.webb@npl.co.uk or procurement@npl.co.uk All documentation and attachments provided by NPL will be available on Bravo. All communication and submission of Tender documents must be uploaded and carried out via the Bravo e-Tendering Portal.
