## Summary

The Natural History Museum (NHM) is looking to purchase a Laser Ablation System for its Imaging and Analysis Centre. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for November 18, 2022. The contract period is scheduled to start on December 5, 2022, and end on March 31, 2023. The NHM is located in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for lasers.

This tender opportunity presented by the NHM for a Laser Ablation System can benefit businesses operating in the laser technology or scientific equipment industries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly stand to gain from this opportunity. With the NHM emphasizing the need for urgent acquisition due to equipment failure, businesses capable of providing high-quality laser ablation systems within the specified timeframe would be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The Natural History Museum (NHM) wishes to secure the purchase of a Laser Ablation System for the Imaging and Analysis Centre. The NHM has an excellent history of laser ablation analysis providing world class research and commercial work. We have run two systems since 2012 to cope with research demand and support the commercial work each year. Our previous system, which carried out most of the commercial work, has recently failed without warning. To keep up with contractual demands, while continuing to support grant funded projects, the Museum needs to acquire and install a laser ablation system as soon as possible.
