This tender opportunity is currently in the active stage of the procurement process, with a tender period ending on September 13, 2023. The University is seeking a supplier to manufacture, deliver, and acceptance test the metasurfaces, with a contract value of £210,000 GBP. The procurement process is open and follows an open procedure, with an accelerated timeline of 31 days. This tender by the University of Huddersfield presents an opportunity for businesses, especially small or medium enterprises (SMEs), to provide metasurfaces for optical metrology instruments. Businesses in the optical components industry, particularly those experienced in manufacturing and testing precision optical elements, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The University's requirement for metasurfaces functioning at optical wavelengths of around 660 nm opens up possibilities for innovative suppliers in the optics sector to contribute to cutting-edge research and development projects. ## Notice The University of Huddersfield intends to appoint a supplier to provide metasurfaces for an extended period of time. These metasurfaces will be designed to act as optical components in a variety of optical metrology instruments that are currently under development. The different nanostructures to be formed on the surface allow the phase delay light experiences to be varied, allowing a flat optic with a thickness of the order of the wavelength of light to be created. These elements are designed to function using optical wavelengths of light, somewhere in the region of 660 nm. These elements will be used to reshape wavefront, divide light into its different wavelengths and manipulate its polarisation. The University requires a supplier to manufacture, deliver and acceptance test the metasurfaces. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University of Huddersfield intends to appoint a supplier to provide metasurfaces as per the specification, for an extended period of time.
