## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is conducting an open tender for an automation system specifically designed for alanine dosimetry, aiming to enhance the efficiency of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. This procurement, categorised under electronic, electromechanical, and electrotechnical supplies, is located in Teddington, London, with the tender period ending on 6 February 2018. The contract is expected to start on 6 March 2018 and will last until 6 March 2019. Interested parties must register via the LUPC Bravo Portal to participate in this process.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of goods, particularly those specialising in laboratory or precision equipment. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as they can potentially provide innovative solutions that align with the automation requirements of NPL. Companies experienced in automation technologies and laboratory equipment are particularly well-suited for this contract, as the successful bidder will be expected to deliver a sophisticated solution that eliminates labour-intensive processes in EPR measurements.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for the automation of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements of alanine dosimeters. The purpose is to move away from the current labour intensive system through automation of the various stages of the measurement including loading and unloading pellets from the EPR cavity, pellet mass measurements. Additional information: All Tenderers must register their company via the LUPC Bravo Portal. This can be done via the following link https://lupc.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml
