## Summary

The University of Sheffield is seeking to procure a Ti:Sapphire Continuous Wave Tuneable Laser, valued at £115,000, for its Department of Physics and Astronomy. This procurement process, classified under the goods category (CPV code: 38636100), is currently in the award stage, following the completion of the tender process which ended on 4 November 2021. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 10 December 2021 and conclude on 11 December 2021. The delivery location for this procurement is within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, and it follows an open procedure under the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding guidelines.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their operations in the scientific equipment sector. Companies specialising in laser technology and optical spectroscopy, especially those capable of providing near-infrared laser solutions, would be well-suited to participate. The project aims to enhance the University of Sheffield's capabilities in advanced photonic device analysis, making it a strategic project for businesses aligned with cutting-edge research and technology markets.

## Notice

The University of Sheffield's Department of Physics and Astronomy, with funding from EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), require a tuneable, near-infrared (700-1000nm) Ti:Sapphire continuous wave laser for optical spectroscopy of semiconductor-based photonic devices. The principle uses of the laser will include resonant spectroscopy (resonance fluorescence) of quantum dots and high-power spectroscopy of devices containing quantum wells. This is an open exercise. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend system, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system.
