This tender, currently in the award stage, was published on 31 December 2018, with a contract period set to commence on 8 March 2019 and last until 7 March 2022. The final date for submission of bids was 11 February 2019, and the procurement method is an open procedure above the threshold, indicating a competitive bidding process accessible to all interested suppliers. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in precision optics and laboratory equipment, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the specified suitability for SMEs in this tender. Companies that can meet the high specifications for gold-coated diffraction gratings and demonstrate the capability to fulfil additional orders over the contract duration would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses with experience in collaborating with public sector bodies will find themselves at an advantage in navigating procurement protocols and requirements. ## Notice The CLF requires a complete set of diffraction grating to produce a pulse stretcher and compressor for use in a new beamline. The gratings are of high specification, gold coated on glass substrates with the provision for spares to be purchased either with the primary order or at a later date within the terms of the contract. We aim to have the complete order delivered within a 1-year timescale. STFC need to reserve the right to be in attendance at final QA procedures. STFC wish to make an initial purchase of the 4 gratings and reserve the right to purchase additional gratings of the same specification for the life of the contract.
