## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is undertaking a tender for the "Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)" project, with a total budget of £350,000. This procurement falls under the IT services sector, specifically addressing the development and support of software solutions. The tender is currently in the active stage, and the deadline for submissions is set for 20 April 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 15 June 2021 and will run for one year, concluding on 15 June 2022. The delivery areas include various regions, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those focused on software development and consulting, to expand their capabilities within the public sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the inclusive nature of the procurement process. Firms with experience in implementing laboratory information solutions, or those offering innovative technological approaches for enhancing laboratory operations, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is comprised of over fifty laboratories, representing approximately fifteen major science areas, varying from Chemical and Biological Sciences to Medical, Nuclear, Thermal and Quantum technologies. Due to a previous lack of strategic investment, the laboratories have over the last twenty years or so operated autonomously, with little commonality between processes and systems implemented. With the aim of leveraging digital technologies to facilitate efficiencies in laboratory operations and compliance, and knowledge-sharing to support our strategic goal of creating impact from science and engineering, NPL intends to implement a common Laboratory Information Management solution and processes across the organisation. Initially, the selected application will be implemented in a pilot project in our newly opened Mechanical Testing facility, within the Advanced Engineering Materials (AEM) group. Additional information: Interested tenderers should please be advised in order to access the ITT documents for this project you will need to be a registered supplier on Bravo Solution. If you are NOT a registered supplier please register on Bravo Solution to access the ITT documents and complete a bid.
