## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory is currently inviting tenders for the acquisition of a Mobility Particle Size Spectrometer, essential for producing particle size spectra ranging from 10 nm to 1000 nm. This open procurement, classified under the CPV code for instrumentation and control equipment, is active with a tender period ending on 12th December 2017. The contract is set to commence on 28th February 2018, concluding a year later on 28th February 2019. The delivery location for this project is in London, United Kingdom, highlighting the geographical focus of this opportunity.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses engaged in the production, installation, and maintenance of laboratory and precision equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, particularly those with capabilities in providing advanced instrumentation solutions. Businesses that specialise in particle size analysis equipment or those with the expertise to meet compliance standards, such as CEN TS 16976, will be particularly well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract.

## Notice

NPL requires a Mobility Particle Size Spectrometer which can produce particle size spectra in the range 10 nm - 1000 nm. This must be able to both positively and negatively charge particles and have both radioactive and non-radioactive neutraliser options. The instrument should be compliant with CEN TS 16976.
