The procurement was aimed at the purchase of cryogenic dilution fridges for the National Quantum Computing Centre located in the United Kingdom. The tender was conducted through an open procedure and had an award value of GBP 1,319,590.01. The contract was signed on 18th July 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers, especially those dealing with cryogenic equipment and quantum computing technologies, to engage in business growth. Small or medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in cryogenic technology may find this tender particularly suitable. The buyer, UK Research & Innovation, is a public body governed by law and specialises in research, making it an essential partner for businesses looking to collaborate on innovative projects in the quantum computing field. ## Notice This tender is aimed at the purchase of multiple cryogenic dilution fridges, as specified in Section 4 of the Specification (Which is made available through the Delta e-sourcing portal). The delivery of the cryogenic dilution fridges is for the National Quantum Computing Centre. The National Quantum Computing Centre seeks to enhance the UK's global leadership in quantum computing, to help translate UK research strengths into innovation, and enable the creation of the first generation of quantum computers, helping to build a resilient future economy. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The National Quantum Computing Centre seeks to enhance the UK's global leadership in quantum computing, to help translate UK research strengths into innovation, and enable the creation of the first generation of quantum computers, helping to build a resilient future economy. The NQCC is the first UKRI Centre funded directly by UKRI, and is dedicated to accelerating the development of quantum computing by addressing the challenges of scaling - technological and user adoption. The NQCC delivers quantum computing for the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP), which has already established the UK as a quantum technology global leader. Through its combined PS1bn of public and private sector investment over 10 years (2014-2024), the programme will develop and deliver quantum technologies across the areas of sensing, timing, imaging, communications and computing. The NQCC is pursuing two primary platforms of quantum computing, one based on superconductors and one based on trapped ions, as these are currently the most mature. The centre will be headquartered in a purpose-built facility at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)'s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Campus in Oxfordshire. The centre is due for completion in October 2023. Ahead of the completion of the centre, a temporary facility is planned for mid-2023, for which multiple cryogenic dilution fridge systems is required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008008-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Jul 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,400,000 | | Lots value | £2,400,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £1,319,590 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK RESEARCH & INNOVATION | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | OXFORD INSTRUMENTS NANOTECHNOLOGY TOOLS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39711130 - Refrigerators ## Release History - 13 Mar 2024 at 12:05 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008008-2024 - 4 May 2023 at 09:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012748-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/ - https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=848995971 - https://www.ukri.org/ - https://www.ukri.org/,NorthStarAvenue ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
