The procurement process is in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions on May 5, 2023. The contract period is set to start on June 5, 2023, and end on June 4, 2024. The total contract value is 400,000 GBP, and the procurement method is an Open procedure (above threshold). The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the contracting authority is the National Physical Laboratory based in Teddington, England. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment to expand their market presence. Companies specializing in Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and microscopy technologies would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The scope of work involves providing an optical cryostat for research purposes, offering a platform to enhance materials science innovations through advanced metrology techniques. Interested businesses can access further details and documents for this opportunity by visiting the provided link before the submission deadline. ## Notice The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the UK's National Measurement Institute and is a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards, science, and technology available. The NPL Quantum Materials team provides and conducts state-of-the-art measurement services and research across diverse fields of materials science, which involves the test and evaluation of structural, electronic, and optical properties of materials and associated devices. We are extending our capability for delivering world-class metrology and research, and as part of this growth, the NPL requirement is for an optical cryostat for Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and microscopy at low temperature and high magnetic field. The purpose is to provide a rich display of external stimuli and perturbations for hyperspectral, correlative, and quantitative Raman and photoluminescence microscopy via the low temperature and high magnetic field capabilities, for the manipulation and study of materials both from a fundamental and applied perspective. This means a significant expansion of the control over the combined parameter space (temperature - magnetic field - electric field - wavelength) for quantum electronic and optoelectronic material metrology.
