## Summary

Bangor University is seeking to enhance its research in advanced communication techniques by acquiring an additional arbitrary waveform generator. The procurement process for this electrical equipment falls under the industry category of "Electrical equipment and apparatus" (CPV 31600000). The procurement process has progressed through various stages, with the most recent contract being awarded to Keysight Technologies UK Limited, valued at £234,876.39. This award was part of an open procedure covering goods and related services, such as setup support and training, with a significant emphasis on quality and price criteria. The location for delivery is designated as UKL12, with the research facility at Bangor University supporting this initiative through the North Wales Growth Deal.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in high-tech electrical equipment to grow their business, particularly those capable of delivering complex goods meeting technical specifications, such as high sample rates and bit resolutions, alongside additional services like technical support and calibration. Suppliers focusing on innovation, sustainability, and social value will find themselves particularly well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future, as these factors are integral to the procurement criteria. Additionally, since the procurement involves options for purchasing supplementary items and services at a later stage, it presents potential ongoing business engagement for successful bidders.

## Notice

The DSP Centre at Bangor University undertakes research in advanced communication techniques in its state-of-the-art research facility, which is partly funded by the North Wales Growth Deal (NWGD) through Ambition North Wales. To further expand our research capabilities, we plan to acquire an additional arbitrary waveform generator, along with set-up support and training.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Equipment is required for the generation of electrical signals with arbitrary waveforms defined by a predefined sample file. The generator should support i) 4 channels, ii) a sample rate of at least 120GS/s per channel, iii) a bit resolution of 8-bits, and iv) an analogue bandwidth (3dB)of ~40GHz.

Options: Bangor University reserves the right to purchase optional items, associated consumables and/or services (e.g. warranties/extended warranties, calibration) at a later date.
