## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation is inviting bids for the procurement of a Vector Network Analyser for the Superconducting Circuit Team. The procurement falls under the "Analysers" category with a value of £440,000 in GBP. The tender is currently at the planning stage with a tender period ending on May 4, 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contract period is scheduled to start on June 1, 2023, and end on June 1, 2026.

This opportunity created by UK Research & Innovation is suitable for businesses interested in providing goods related to superconducting quantum bits technology. Companies with expertise in supplying advanced analysers within the specified contract period are well-suited to compete. The tender provides a chance for businesses to engage in cutting-edge quantum computing projects and contribute to the development of state-of-the-art technologies in this field.

## Notice

The UK's 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 Superconducting (SC) quantum bits (qubits), which form part of a superconducting quantum state circuit. Superconducting circuits are macroscopic in size and individually form a quantum state, but have quantum properties based upon quantized energy levels, superposition of states, and quantum entanglement, all of which are more commonly associated with atoms.
