## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] is seeking a new high accuracy coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to replace an existing system at their Teddington site. The procurement is for goods falling under the "Laboratory, optical and precision equipment" industry category. The tender is currently in the "active" stage, with a deadline for submissions on December 12, 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure, and interested parties can find more details on electronic and written submission here.

This tender by the National Physical Laboratory presents an opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying high accuracy CMMs and related equipment. Companies with expertise in laboratory equipment and precision instruments would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The contract period ends on January 31, 2025, providing a stable opportunity for growth. The chosen supplier will need to comply with ISO 10360 and consider the environmental impact of the CMM throughout its lifecycle.

## Notice

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a new high accuracy coordinate measuring machine (CMM) at our Teddington site, to replace an existing system that is no longer fit for purpose. The CMM should be fully compatible with current NPL laboratory and IT infrastructure, be free standing i.e. not built into the lab building's foundations and must be verified against ISO 10360. The CMM should have state-of-the-art capability including the ability to utilise non-contact probing systems such as confocal chromatic probes. The CMM should also have capability to be developed and upgraded with future foreseeable technologies. This is both in terms of software and hardware capability. The solution should consider the environmental impact of manufacturing, delivering, and running the CMM.
