## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory, located in Teddington, England, recently awarded a contract for a Portable Raman Spectrometer, classified under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The procurement process was announced on 11 August 2020, with a contract value of £45,000. This tender originated from a competitive quotation limited procurement method, completed with the award made on 27 July 2020. The contract spans from 14 August 2020 to 13 August 2021, and the tender application period concluded on 2 July 2020.

This opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in laboratory equipment and optical devices, particularly those with experience in producing portable, robust devices capable of operating under challenging conditions. As the contract is centred on developing measurement methods for in-situ and in-line applications, businesses that can demonstrate innovative solutions and adaptability in their product offerings may find significant prospects for collaboration or future tenders within this sector.

## 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.
