## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is undertaking a public procurement process for the purchase of two laser fibre amplifiers, which are essential for their Quantum Physics laboratories. This open tender, initiated under the procurement method of "open procedure", is currently at the award stage, having been completed on 16 October 2018. Bids were accepted until 9 October 2018, following which two submissions were received. The contract value amounts to £62,982 and the amplifiers will be used in a key research initiative focused on quantum simulation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced scientific equipment or related technologies. Suppliers with experience in providing goods for educational institutions and those proficient in high-tech instrumentation could particularly benefit from competing for such contracts. Larger organisations like Azur Light Systems, which already secured the award, highlight the potential for substantial growth within this sector, emphasising the demand for quality and innovation in educational procurement.

## Notice

The Quantum Physics laboratories in the physics department at the University of Strathclyde requires 2 identical laser fibre amplifiers. The laser will be used to generate optical trapping potentials for ultra-cold atoms in a research project in quantum simulation.
