This tender is currently at the active stage, having been published on 18 March 2022, with the deadline for submissions set for 14:00 on 15 April 2022. The procurement falls under the open procedure method, classified under the CPV category for laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, which includes diverse delivery locations across the UK and other regions. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in precision measurement technology and optical equipment. Companies focusing on high-accuracy systems for scientific applications, particularly those developing laser systems or related technologies, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement could foster business growth by establishing partnerships with a leading research organisation and potentially expanding their market reach within the quantum computing sector. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 05 April 2022 for the following reason: Amendment to deadline due to bank holiday clash.(The estimated value of this requirement is PS110,000 exclusive of VAT. The National Quantum Computing Centre aims at building quantum computers which will be made available to end users. Among others, one of the hardware platforms we are developing is based on trapped ions. In trapped ions quantum computing, lasers are used to interact with the internal states of a single and multiple ions. Depending on the chosen ion species and internal states, specific laser frequencies are used. The precise wavelength/frequency of these lasers needs to be calibrated to a high degree to allow them to interact with the ions. To this end, a high accuracy Wavelength Measurement System is needed which can measure the frequency of a laser with an absolute frequency uncertainty of 20 MHz or below (lower is better).
