## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is conducting a limited procurement process for a new annealing system, which is crucial for their research into graphene and 2D materials. The procurement stage is at an award notice, with the tender period having ended on 22 July 2019. The awarded contract, valued at £35,900, commences on 15 August 2019 and lasts until 16 August 2020. The project is classified under the CPV code 38000000, pertaining to laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The delivery address for the procurement is located in Teddington, London, TW11 0LW.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and technology, particularly those focused on 2D materials fabrication. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide competitive quotations are encouraged to engage in this process. The requirement for an advanced annealing system could lead to further collaborations in innovative research areas, fostering growth for firms capable of delivering sophisticated solutions tailored to cutting-edge scientific applications.

## Notice

NPL require an annealing system to research graphene and 2D materials. This piece of equipment will be a key resource for graphene and 2D materials research, increasing the quality of the devices by accelerating the progress in the new 2D materials fabrication capability established at Quantum technology and for NPL to use in developing test and validation capability for these areas. Annealing is a standard technique used in 2D materials fabrication and characterisation centres to increase the quality of the samples, as well as to reduce the level of surface contamination. Annealing helps to desorb airborne species and improves structural, chemical and electrical integrity of the samples. Without annealing the samples cannot be used in the pristine (optimal) state.
