The industry category for this procurement is Education, and the relevant CPV classification is 31600000. The procurement follows an open procedure method, focusing on goods, and involves the purchase of equipment to generate electrical signals with defined arbitrary waveforms. This stage of the procurement process is complete, having been awarded to KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES UK LIMITED with a contract value of £234,876.39, signed on 23rd May 2025. The procurement took place in Bangor, North Wales, under region UKL12, and is supported by the North Wales Growth Deal (NWGD). This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-precision instrumentation and related technologies, primarily serving educational and research sectors. It is well-suited for large-scale enterprises capable of providing high-tech equipment as well as ongoing support and training services. The open procedure ensures competitive bidding, allowing businesses to demonstrate value through criteria such as instrumentation hardware and software quality, alongside competitive pricing. With potential options for future additional purchases, such as warranties and calibration services, businesses can engage in a partnership that supports continued technological advancement and research excellence at Bangor University. ## 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=141702 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | 23 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | 5 Aug 2024 | | Award date | 23 May 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £234,876 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PRIFYSGOL BANGOR / BANGOR UNIVERSITY | | Locality | BANGOR | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL57 2TR | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL32 Gwynedd | | Local authority | Gwynedd | | Electoral ward | Glyder | | Westminster constituency | Bangor Aberconwy | | Delivery location | TLL12 Gwynedd | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 31600000 - Electrical equipment and apparatus - 38300000 - Measuring instruments ## Release History - 28 May 2025 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=141702 - 23 Aug 2024 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=141702 - 19 Jun 2024 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=141702 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=JUN481495&idx=1 19th June 2024 - Social Value Guidance Document - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=JUN481495&idx=2 19th June 2024 - Social Value Proposal Template - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN481495 Arbitrary Waveform Generator - 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.
