## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory is seeking bids for a portable Raman spectrometer as part of a limited procurement process under the classification of laboratory, optical and precision equipment. This tender was published on 11th June 2020, with the submission deadline set for 2nd July 2020. The contract period is expected to commence on 23rd July 2020 and run until 16th July 2021. The location of the delivery is Teddington, London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs engaged in the production of scientific equipment, particularly those with the capability to supply robust Raman spectrometers suitable for use in various conditions. Businesses that specialise in optical technology, portable measurement instruments, or those that can offer innovative solutions for in-situ applications would be well-positioned to compete. With the procurement method based on competitive quotation, potential bidders should ensure they register on the required platforms to access necessary documents and submit their bids.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory's requirement is for a Raman spectrometer to be used to measure a range of sample types. The purpose is to develop measurement methods for in-situ and in-line applications. The spectrometer therefore needs to be either hand-held, or portable with a flexible measurement probe. It must be robust enough to maintain operation in non-ideal conditions such as potentially elevated temperatures, noise or vibration. Additional information: Please do not contact the person listed on this notice. Documents can only be obtained through Bravo Solutions.
