## Summary

NPL Management Limited procured a 67 GHz radio-frequency (RF) signal generator system for advanced metrology, research and calibration. The supply includes the instrument, hardware and software options, calibration documentation and support services, for scientific measurement, calibration and research activities. The equipment is classified as measuring and testing apparatus. NPL is based at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. Delivery is recorded as being in the United Kingdom, without a more specific delivery location. This is a single-lot purchase of goods, rather than a service or construction contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ROHDE & SCHWARZ U.K. LIMITED. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 3 September to 30 November 2026. Its stated value is £9.9 million excluding VAT (£11.88 million including VAT). The procurement was described as below threshold; no more specific method or evaluation basis is recorded. It was structured as one lot, and the award is active. The award date is not stated separately from the contract signature date. This outcome records a completed purchase of a high-frequency signal-generation system, with associated options, calibration documents and support, for NPL’s scientific measurement and research work.

This purchase demonstrates demand at NPL for specialised RF test and measurement equipment capable of operating at 67 GHz, supplied with compatible hardware and software options, calibration documentation and support. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to offer a complete, technically capable system suited to precision metrology, research and calibration applications, and provide the documentation and ongoing support needed to use and maintain it. The successful supplier was a large UK-based company, indicating that delivery of this requirement was awarded to an established supplier; the procurement does not identify specific accreditation, staffing or prior-project requirements. Relevant competitors are therefore equipment manufacturers or specialist suppliers able to provide the instrument and its associated options, calibration materials and support as an integrated package.
