Located in Teddington, UK, the procurement is currently at the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions on 11 February 2025 at 15:00 GMT. The tender is valued at £350,000 and requires a complete primary voltage calibration system that eliminates the need for liquid helium, ensuring continuous operation for several months. Interested suppliers must register on the designated tendering system to participate. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in precision laboratory equipment, particularly those capable of providing advanced calibration systems. Companies with expertise in SI traceable DC and AC voltage systems, coupled with automated calibration software, will find this contract particularly appealing. The requirement for cutting-edge technology to maintain continuous operation presents a substantial growth opportunity for suppliers in the quantum precision measurement sector, opening doors for future collaborations and innovation in scientific research infrastructure. ## Notice The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) requirement is for a complete primary voltage calibration system built around a Josephson array quantum standard. The purpose is to move away from the current generation of standards that use liquid helium to cool the sample to one that is liquid cryogen-free with the aim that no liquid helium should be required for either cool-down or routine operation, and hence the system should be capable of continuous operation for periods of at least several months. The system should be capable of providing: SI traceable DC voltages up to 10 V, with an uncertainty better than 1 nV/V. software to run the system and automate the calibration of standards. the capability to generate AC voltages up to a few kHz. To express interest in this tender you fill first need to be registered on the tendering system.
