## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is seeking to procure a walk-in environmental chamber for their Multiple Atmospheres Controlled Environment (MACE) facility, intended to enhance air quality monitoring via low-cost gas sensors. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage and follows an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 30 August 2024. The project falls under the laboratory, optical and precision equipment industry category. The setup must accommodate the existing laboratory space at NPL's Hampton Road, Teddington location. The contract is valued at £190,000 GBP and is set to commence on 23 September 2024, ending by 22 September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in environmental testing and advanced precision equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply due to the suitability criteria favouring these entities. The successful bidder will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with NPL Estates for the decommissioning of the current equipment and installation of the new chamber, presenting further engagement and service offerings in future partnerships. Businesses with expertise in temperature and humidity control automation would be well-suited to compete in this procurement.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) requirement is for a walk-in environmental chamber to host its Multiple Atmosphere Controlled Environment (MACE), a purpose-built facility designed to evaluate the performance of low-cost gas sensors for air quality monitoring. The environmental walk-in chamber will deliver temperature and humidity control for all tests that the MACE facility supports. The setup needs to fit within the existing laboratory space available at NPL. Liaising with NPL Estates will be necessary to decommission the environmental chamber currently in the lab, and to prepare the laboratory for the installation of the new one. The asset must be able to 1) allow temperature and relative humidity control over the desired range; 2) allow automation over a series of set points for autonomous operation. To express interest in this opportunity please ensure you bare registered on the Bravo tendering portal.
