This procurement, classified under the industry category "Laboratory, optical and precision equipment (excluding glasses)" (CPV code 38000000), operates under an open procedure and is currently in the tender stage. Bidders are invited to submit their proposals electronically by 7th November 2024, at 15:00 UTC. The contract is valued at £500,000 and includes a delivery location in Teddington, UK, with a contract period lasting 360 days. This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in the manufacturing or supply of high-precision laser systems and associated components, such as pump lasers and optical modules. Companies experienced in precision optical engineering or those looking to expand their footprint in the high-technology equipment sector will find this tender particularly beneficial. Participation in this procurement can lead to significant business growth, aligning with complex and high-value projects governed by the National Physical Laboratory, a body governed by public law dedicated to research. Firms capable of fulfilling the technical specifications and delivering within the stipulated timeframe are encouraged to engage. ## Notice The NPL requirement is for a Continuous Wave (CW) or quasi-CW tuneable laser system. This laser system is to be used as the source for our cryogenic radiometer facility, which is the UK's primary standard for absolute radiant power measurement. The laser system should comprise the laser source(s) and any additional components required to meet the full specification as stated in the tender documents. For example, such components may include pump lasers and additional optical mixing modules, monochromators or laser pulse slicers for wavelength control and wavemeters for wavelength monitoring. Where additional equipment is required to meet the full specification of the laser system, such items must be considered and included in the quotations.
