## Summary

The University of Sheffield is conducting a procurement process to acquire an Antenna Measurement System, specifically designed to measure small millimetre wave antennas, including those on-wafer. The tender is classified under the Electronic Equipment category and falls within the goods procurement category. The tender was published on 1st May 2018, with a submission deadline set for 31st May 2018. The total contract value is £386,000, and the contract period is scheduled to start on 31st January 2019 and end on 1st February 2019. This procurement follows an open procedure method for tenders above the threshold.

This opportunity may benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in electronic and electromechanical equipment, particularly those with experience in highly technical systems involving millimetre wave technology. As the requirement includes precision measurement capabilities, businesses with a strong background in scientific instrumentation, engineering, or advanced technology solutions would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, potentially leading to significant growth and collaboration with a prestigious academic institution.

## Notice

This antenna measurement system must be able to measure all types of small millimeter wave antennas including antennas on-wafer before bonding where a probe must be used to contact the antenna(s) and hence mechanical vibrations are a critical issue. A vector network analyser will be used for transmission and reception of the signal with millimetre wave extender modules. Additional information: All tender documents, enquiries & tender returns must be conducted via the In-tend site from the link provided above
