Summary of the contracting process

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] has completed an award process for the procurement of a real-time oscilloscope for 6G R&D activities. The oscilloscope must capture high-speed electrical waveforms operating over 200 GSa/s with specific technical requirements. The tender was for goods falling under the CPV category of "Laboratory, optical and precision equipments," with a total contract value of £509,623.91. The contract was signed on 1st December 2022 and was awarded to Keysight Technologies UK Limited.

This procurement opportunity by the National Physical Laboratory presents a chance for businesses in the laboratory equipment industry to fulfil the requirements for high-speed waveform capture. Companies specialising in manufacturing real-time oscilloscopes and related accessories, such as optical to electrical converters, with technological capabilities meeting the specified analog bandwidth and ENOB requirements at competitive pricing, would be well-suited to bid for this contract. The tender process has concluded, but future opportunities within this industry with the NPL may arise for new business growth.

Notice Information

Notice Title

500000

Notice Description

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is to capture high-speed electrical waveforms using a real-time oscilloscope operating over 200 GSa/s. We will use the oscilloscope for 6G R&D activities for future networks. The data will be captured and stored in the memory of the oscilloscope for offline data signal processing. The oscilloscope must have an analog bandwidth of least 70 GHz and an effective number of bits (ENOB) of at least five at 70 GHz. The number of channels on the oscilloscope will be four. The quotation should include the analysis software from the manufacturer. We will also require a compatible optical to electrical converter > 50 GHz with the real-time oscilloscope.
