## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has initiated a procurement process for ICT equipment worth £1,000,000 GBP. The procurement falls under the goods category and is in the planning stage. The tender is titled "Attempted Fraud Alert" and is aimed at securing high-end servers and other valuable items. The procurement process is being conducted by NPL based in Teddington, United Kingdom. The anticipated future notice date for communication regarding this procurement is 8th November 2023.

This tender by NPL presents an opportunity for suppliers specialised in office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies to participate in providing ICT equipment. Businesses interested in supplying high-end servers and other related items should take note of this opportunity. The tender, albeit addressing a fraud alert issue, can serve as a potential business growth avenue for ICT suppliers seeking to engage with NPL in the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Attempted Fraud Alert The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has become aware of a fraud operation operating ostensibly under our name, targeting ICT suppliers. Suppliers are approached usually by a man claiming to be Gary Phillips (one of our real employees) who will seek quotations for ICT equipment (high-end servers and other high-value items) which they will usually ask to be shipped to freight forwarding companies with names such as 'National Physical Laboratory Goods Receiving Center' and usually marked for the attention of a 'Jackie Brown'. At least 40 suppliers are known to have been targeted so far. Suppliers are advised that any email or communication purporting to be from NPL but having any domain name OTHER THAN 'npl.co.uk' is likely to be fraudulent. Suppliers are advised to remain diligent and to question anything that looks suspicious by contacting NPL directly (contact details can be found at www.npl.co.uk) or by contacting the real Gary Phillips at gary.phillips@npl.co.uk who can confirm if any such communication came from himself. Thank you for your diligence.
