## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory is procuring two multi-channel radiofrequency phase comparators for comparing hydrogen maser derived signals. The tender, titled ITT_128495 / 6 - 2 x Phase Comparators, falls under the industry category of Laboratory, optical and precision equipments. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on 26th February 2024. The contract period will start on 14th March 2024 and end on 13th March 2025.

This tender by the National Physical Laboratory presents an opportunity for businesses specialised in laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, and the contract value is £140,000 GBP. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically welcome to participate in this tender, which requires delivery to multiple locations including the UK and other global regions.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) requirement is for two multi-channel radiofrequency (RF) phase comparators suitable for comparing hydrogen maser derived 10 MHz signals for all averaging times. The first is for the determination of any uncertainty introduced by time and frequency transfer over several coaxial cables and optical fibre links. While the second is for comparisons between state-of-the-art optically steered time scales against the UK time scale UTC (NPL) and several other H-maser signals. The phase comparators need to be able to measure multiple RF signals simultaneously without introducing significant phase instability into the measurement.
