The public procurement process for the "UKRI - 20ns Pulsed Seeded Laser" was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited based in Swindon, England. This tender falls under the category of laboratory, optical and precision equipment (excluding glasses) and has completed its procurement stage with an award issued on 25th October 2019. The tender was published on 30th August 2019, and the deadline for bid submission was 7th October 2019. The contract period extends from 1st November 2019 to 31st March 2020, and the procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing for wider participation from suppliers.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in optical technologies and precision equipment manufacturing. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would particularly benefit from participation, given the contract's design to foster inclusivity within the bidding process. Interested suppliers should have capabilities in custom laser design, as the successful bidder is required to deliver a laser system capable of operating at various harmonics. Companies experienced in high-precision engineering and scientific equipment are ideal candidates to leverage this government procurement opportunity for growth.

## Notice

As part of the CLF diagnostics package laser the CLF is looking to purchase a custom laser. The system is specified for use at the second harmonic, but the laser must be specifically designed to allow switching between harmonics with the additional option of a third and fourth harmonic module (to be priced separately).
