## Summary

The University of Huddersfield is seeking a supplier for the production of metasurfaces to be used as optical components in optical metrology instruments. The procurement process, titled "Production of Metasurfaces", falls under the industry category of office machinery, equipment, and supplies. The tender, with a value of £210,000 GBP, is currently in the 'active' stage. The deadline for tender submissions is September 13, 2023, with the contract period scheduled to run from September 25, 2023, to August 1, 2027.

## Notice

The University of Huddersfield intends to appoint a supplier to provide metasurfaces for an extended period of time. These metasurfaces will be designed to act as optical components in a variety of optical metrology instruments that are currently under development. The different nanostructures to be formed on the surface allow the phase delay light experiences to be varied, allowing a flat optic with a thickness of the order of the wavelength of light to be created. These elements are designed to function using optical wavelengths of light, somewhere in the region of 660 nm. These elements will be used to reshape wavefront, divide light into its different wavelengths and manipulate its polarisation. The University requires a supplier to manufacture, deliver and acceptance test the metasurfaces.
