This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on research and development in nanotechnology and healthcare sectors. SMEs, in particular, would be well-suited to compete in this process due to the tailored suitability criteria. The study aims to enhance the standardisation and adoption of new healthcare technologies, bolstering the services offered by healthcare providers. Contractors engaged in measuring and improving healthcare technologies can leverage this contract to demonstrate their expertise, expand their market presence, and foster collaborations with NPL, a key player in the UK's scientific research landscape.

## Notice

The National Measurement System (NMS) provides the UK with an infrastructure of laboratories that deliver world-class measurement science and technology and provide traceable and accurate standards of measurement. The NMS focuses on major societal challenges, through the set-up of challenge areas which sit across measurement science functions. One of these challenge areas is 'Life Science and Health,' which aims to improve standards and methods across healthcare, contribute towards development and adoption of healthcare technologies through standardisation, and improve the delivery of healthcare services while helping to reduce costs. This RFQ invites applications for one of the four short-term health impacts studies that were identified by Ipsos in the scoping study. This study will aim to quantify the extent to which the work done by NMS laboratories (NPL and NML) in the field of nanotechnology enables growth among UK-based companies operating in this space, particularly nanomedicines
