## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has issued a tender for the procurement of a state-of-the-art white-light interferometer (WLI) for dimensional metrology purposes. This tender, with a value of £275,000 GBP, falls under the goods category and is open for electronic and written submissions until 13th March 2023. The buying organisation, NPL, based in Teddington, United Kingdom, seeks a qualified supplier to provide the specified equipment meeting ISO standards.

This opportunity presented by NPL is tailored for businesses with expertise in laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. Companies capable of delivering advanced white-light interferometers and associated software packages are encouraged to participate. The procurement stage is currently active, following an open procedure, inviting bids that align with the detailed technical specifications outlined by NPL. Businesses aspiring to collaborate with a research-focused public body are well-suited to compete and potentially expand their market presence through this tender.

## Notice

NPL require a state-of-the-art white-light interferometer (WLI) with a microscope form-factor to enable areal surface topography measurement of appropriate workpieces. By 'white-light interferometry' we mean 'coherence scanning interferometry with visible light' as described in ISO 25178-604:2013. The WLI will be used in a dimensional metrology laboratory at NPL to undertake traceable measurement tasks required for NPL's measurement services and R&D activities. We are seeking a state-of-the-art instrument and the technical specifications described later in this document include commensurate functionality such as automatic sample staging/alignment with multiple optics for measurement of different sample/feature scales, and associated measurement automation software and data analysis software packages. To express interest in this opportunity please ensure you are registered on the Bravo / JaggaerOne system and use the following link: https://lupc.bravosolution.co.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=55735
