## Summary

The University of Sheffield is seeking suppliers for the procurement of a Solid State 532nm Pump Laser and TiSa Tuneable Laser System to support its Physics and Astronomy department. This tender, classified under the 'Lasers' industry category, is an open procurement process with a total value of £87,500. The tender period concluded on 27th May 2021, and successfully awarded contracts will commence from 24th June 2021 to 25th June 2021 in Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in high-tech laser systems and related scientific equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the tender is designed to be accessible to a range of suppliers equipped to provide advanced technological solutions necessary for academic research. Engaging in this procurement could enhance business visibility and credibility in the scientific community, paving the way for future collaborations and contracts.

## Notice

The University of Sheffield's department of Physics and Astronomy with funding from the EPSRC and Royal Society require a pump laser and Ti:Sa laser system. The objective is to establish a continuous wave tuneable laser system suitable for state of the art experiments on semiconductor nanostructures. The system will consist of a single-mode tuneable titanium sapphire (Ti:Sa) laser, optically pumped by a diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser emitting at 532 nm wavelength. In addition to that the DPSS laser should be useable on it's own to provide a source of optical power in experiments requiring 532 nm laser emission. 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.
