This tender is classified under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment, with a budget of £120,000. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with the submission deadline set for 24th February 2017. The work is to be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, starting from 26th February 2017 and lasting until 23rd February 2018.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the fields of laboratory equipment, optical technology, and sensor development. Companies that specialize in precision instruments or laser systems would be well-suited to compete for this contract, particularly those capable of delivering advanced technology solutions tailored for spectroscopic applications. Engaging in this procurement could enhance a business's reputation and open up further opportunities within academic and research sectors.

## Notice

The Vollmer Research Group at the University of Exeter develops novel sensor technologies. They have developed an optical single-molecule sensor, so called "Whispering Gallery Mode Sensor (WGM sensor). Their next goal is to add spectroscopy to the established sensor system. To achieve this goal, a dedicated, widely tunable, narrow linewidth CW laser system is needed. They require a narrow linewidth (~1 MHz) laser system operating at nominal ~ 800 nm wavelength with coarse wavelength-tuning capability (~300 nm) and ~25 GHz of mode-hop free fine-tuning capability which will be required for sensor operation by swept-wavelength scanning at ~100 Hz.
