## Summary

The University of Bristol School of Chemistry is seeking to procure an amplified ultrafast laser system for scientific research. The contract has been awarded to Coherent Europe B.V., with a value of £268,400. The procurement process has been completed, and the contract was signed on 25th November 2022. The opportunity was for goods in the industry category of lasers, and the location for delivery is the School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK. The process was conducted through an open procedure, and the buying organisation is the University of Bristol.

This tender for the amplified ultrafast laser system offers an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of scientific equipment, specifically in the field of lasers. Companies capable of providing ultrafast laser systems meeting the technical specifications outlined by the University of Bristol would be well-suited to compete. With the contract already awarded, businesses can use this information to understand the types of opportunities available in public procurement and tailor their offerings to meet the needs of academic institutions like the University of Bristol.

## Notice

The University of Bristol School of Chemistry is looking to procure an amplified ultrafast laser system for use in studies of photochemical dynamics. The laser should consist of an ultrafast oscillator and an amplifier, in a one-box design for optimum stability of operation in our laboratory. Sufficient power output is required to pump two existing optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs), operating with 800-nm pump wavelengths, to generate ultraviolet and mid-infrared laser beams at a laser pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Ultrafast photochemical dynamics of molecules in solution and in protein environments will be studied using the techniques of transient absorption spectroscopy and two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The project is funded by EPSRC Programme Grant EP/V026690/1, Ultrafast Photochemical Dynamics in Complex Environments. The Equipment We require an amplified ultrafast laser system for use in studies of photochemical dynamics. The laser should consist of an ultrafast oscillator and an amplifier, in a one-box design for optimum stability of operation in our laboratory. Sufficient power output is required to pump two existing optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs, operating with 800-nm pump wavelengths) to generate ultraviolet and mid-infrared laser beams at a laser pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz.
