The tender is at the procurement stage of competitive quotation (below threshold) and has a tender period ending on 13th February 2023. The contract period is set to start on 24th February 2023 and end on 23rd February 2024. The location for delivery is specified as "TW11 0LW, England". This tender issued by the NPL for a water vapour analyser presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the goods industry. Businesses capable of providing CE/UKCA certificated analysers with specific technical capabilities such as networked and remotely accessed, serial connectivity, and compatibility with standard UK power supplies are well-suited to compete. The requirement for a wide dynamic range and accuracy in measuring water vapours presents a growth opportunity for businesses offering advanced measurement technologies. ## 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 National Physical Laboratory (NPL) requirement is for a water vapour analyser, with the following capabilities: 1. capable of accurately measuring water vapours (see specification for amount fractions) in pure oxygen gas. 2. The analyser shall be CE/UKCA certificated. 3. Possibility to be networked and remotely accessed (minimum 100-1000 Base-T Ethernet) 4. Have a serial RS232/485, Modbus TCP connectivity. 5. Required to operate at standard UK mains power supply (230Vac, 50Hz). 6. Analog output (4-20 mA or 0-10 Vdc) is required to allow connectivity to exiting automatic analysers and LabView integration. 7. A local data storage (e.g. on flash drive) is desirable. 8. Inlet pressure: 2-9 bar a 9. Flow rate 0.05-1.5 slpm 10. Gas temperature up to 600C 11. Wide dynamic range: over four orders of magnitude (see specification) To express interest in this notice and access the documents, etc please follow this link: https://lupc.bravosolution.co.uk/go/24238219018607C4210B ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437d61ca-5643-419c-b587-49420b12f252 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Feb 2023 - 23 Feb 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £62,268 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY | | Locality | TEDDINGTON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW11 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Teddington | | Westminster constituency | Twickenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 31 Jan 2023 at 12:21 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437d61ca-5643-419c-b587-49420b12f252 - 31 Jan 2023 at 09:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437d61ca-5643-419c-b587-49420b12f252 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437d61ca-5643-419c-b587-49420b12f252 31st January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://lupc.bravosolution.co.uk/go/24238219018607C4210B ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
