## Summary

The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow initiated a procurement process for the provision of a kHz laser system for the Scottish Centre for the Application of Plasma-based Accelerators (SCAPA). This project falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on lasers (CPV Code: 38636100). The procurement method was an open procedure, and the contract was awarded on 19 January 2021. The current procurement stage is complete, with a total contract value of £275,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced laser technologies and high-energy physics equipment. Companies with experience in providing automated laser systems and associated technologies, particularly those capable of delivering cutting-edge solutions, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of a similar nature. The involvement of academic research centres like SCAPA further highlights the potential for collaborative projects that could enhance technological advancements and innovation.

## Notice

The Scottish Centre for the Application of Plasma-based Accelerators (SCAPA) research centre is a major initiative within the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA). Facilities include state-of-the-art laser laboratories, laser-driven plasma accelerators and radiation sources. Research is focused on the development and application of next generation accelerator technology. The SCAPA kHz laser system requirement is composed of a fully-automated, ultrafast and ultrashort laser module that is then seeded to an amplifier, obtaining high-energy, mJ range laser pulses. The kHz laser is going to be installed in one of the research laboratories of SCAPA.
