This procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 14 January 2022. The contract period is set to commence on 31 March 2022 and will conclude on 2 May 2022. The contract value is estimated at £155,000 GBP, and the delivery location is in Teddington, UK (postal code TW11 0LW). This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the optical and precision equipment sector, especially those specialised in laboratory technology and metrology systems. Companies that can deliver a compact and high-performance ultrastable laser system, along with the requisite control and monitoring capabilities, would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Interested bidders are encouraged to register through the LUPC Bravo e-tender portal, enhancing their chances of winning this contract and expanding their market presence. ## Notice The National Physical Laboratory requirement is for a new compact ultrastable laser system for optical frequency metrology. The ultrastable laser system shall comprise a laser source at 1542 nm, frequency-locked to an ultrastable optical cavity, including all necessary optics and electronics for control and monitoring, in a single 19-inch rack. The complete system shall be transportable, ideally on wheels or castors. Delivery of output light shall be through single-mode, polarisation-maintaining (PM) fibre. The laser frequency should be user-selectable within a specific range detailed below. The system shall have the ability to be controlled and monitored remotely. It should be designed for reliable continuous operation over extended periods and under environmental conditions typical of laboratories and data centres. The supply is to include delivery of the performance-verified system ready for installation by the user, any software required to operate the system, a detailed operation manual and a comprehensive performance characterisation (including phase noise and instability). ### Lot Information Lot 1 The National Physical Laboratory requirement is for a new compact ultrastable laser system for optical frequency metrology.
