This procurement falls under the goods category and has an estimated value of £140,000. The tender period is active until 15th April 2020, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 1st May 2020 and conclude on 30th October 2020. Interested suppliers must submit their applications via www.bravosolution.co.uk, and the delivery addresses are located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory and optical equipment, particularly those with expertise in precision machinery and nanotechnology. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as the open procurement method fosters a competitive environment conducive to innovation and partnerships. Companies with capabilities in optical measurement and advanced imaging technologies would be well-positioned to submit their bids and contribute to the National Physical Laboratory's research efforts in the quantum materials field. ## Notice The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a magneto optical Kerr effect [MOKE] microscope for imaging magnetic domains in the surface of solid samples. The purpose of this system is to connect macro and nano scale characterization. The system needs to be able to achieve a resolution down to 300 nm and total sample size of a few mm. Capturing speed should allow for studying dynamic processes where images need to be taken with a repetition rate of up to 200 kHz. This is necessary in order to characterize the behaviour of magnetic thin films, magnetic nanostructures, and novel 2D materials exhibiting magnetic properties, which are objects of study within the Quantum group and whose dynamic behaviour is not accessible with the current instrumentation. Additional information: Tenderers should please be advised that applications for this opportunity can only be accessed and submitted via www.bravosolution.co.uk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2df3191a-b46a-466d-8105-0cb7ff7d2911 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 15 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2020 - 30 Oct 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY LIMITED | | Locality | TEDDINGTON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW11 0LW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Teddington | | Westminster constituency | Twickenham | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 30 Mar 2020 at 13:19 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2df3191a-b46a-466d-8105-0cb7ff7d2911 - 30 Mar 2020 at 13:11 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2df3191a-b46a-466d-8105-0cb7ff7d2911 - 20 Mar 2020 at 12:07 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2df3191a-b46a-466d-8105-0cb7ff7d2911 - 20 Mar 2020 at 11:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2df3191a-b46a-466d-8105-0cb7ff7d2911 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2df3191a-b46a-466d-8105-0cb7ff7d2911 30th March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9a9b2cf5-7a13-470e-a1c5-46a4e9a3d8f9 Request for Quotation - http://www.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
