## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory, located in Teddington, England, has awarded a contract for the provision of a Free-Space RF Path Loss Measurement Solution valued at £91,000. The award was made following an open tender process that completed on 15th October 2021. The contract is set to commence on 8th December 2021 and is scheduled to conclude by 28th February 2022. The procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment (excluding glasses).

This opportunity may present significant growth potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in manufacturing or supplying laboratory and measurement equipment. Businesses with expertise in RF technology, weatherproof equipment, or autonomous vehicle sensor solutions would be particularly well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The robust requirements outlined in the tender indicate a need for innovative solutions that can meet the challenges posed by environmental factors such as fog and rain.
