The tender, titled "RFQ - Multi-channel Semiconductor Parameter Analyser," falls under the industry category of Laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The procurement stage was an open procedure, and the contract period is from May 26, 2023, to May 24, 2024. The tender deadline was on March 20, 2023, with a contract value of £56,784.

This awarded contract by the National Physical Laboratory offers opportunities for businesses in the laboratory equipment sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Businesses interested in providing semiconductor parameter analysers and related services should consider engaging with the National Physical Laboratory as a potential client for future procurement opportunities.

## Notice

Contract Award Notice The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a semiconductor parameter analyser for the characterisation of novel semiconductor components at cryogenic temperatures. This is both for our own research and collaborative research with other scientific and commercial partners. 1) A semiconductor parameter analyser mainframe with embedded control system/PC with slots for modular measurement capabilities, internally controlled/synchronised. 2) Low/medium power DC Source/Measure capabilities on at least three channels (typical voltages < 20 V, current < 100 mA) 3) Low current pre-amps on some (preferably all) channels to enable sub-pA current measurement 4) Capacitance measurement capability using a separate card at frequencies approximately 1 kHz to 1 MHz 5) An outboard relay box to facilitate automated testing without user reconfiguration of cables 6) If it is possible within the indicative budget, we are also interested in a pulsed card system (to be quoted separately)
