## Summary

The procurement process for the High Precision Mass Comparator (Mettler A10XL model) was initiated by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, located in London, UK. This tender falls under the measuring instruments industry category, with a total contract value of £200,486. The procurement method classified as 'Other', has completed the award stage, with the contract awarded on 27 August 2019, while the contract period is set to commence on 1 October 2019 and conclude on 30 September 2020.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in precision measuring instruments, calibration services, and related technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as initial installation and support services are also required. This project demands suppliers capable of delivering high-quality equipment and comprehensive after-sales support, making it a viable avenue for businesses looking to expand in the public sector market.

## Notice

The equipment is used for the highest level of mass calibration in the UK and is part of the country's traceability of mass standards within the national measurement system, so we require a top level precision mass comparator to achieve the necessary accuracy and level of uncertainty in the measurement. The required mass comparator must have a capacity of 10.1 g and a readability of 0.1 ug (also with the ability to obtain readings of up to 0.01 ug but not via the display). The electrical weighing range must be 0 to 10.1 g and the guaranteed repeatability must be 0.15 ug. Initial installation and training must also be provided as well as full after sales support.
