This is a large award for Laboratory & Precision Equipment — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 9,869 valued Laboratory & Precision Equipment tenders in our corpus.
National Physical Laboratory publishes Laboratory & Precision Equipment work continuously — 285 notices, roughly one every 3 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
40% of National Physical Laboratory’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) requirement is for a refrigerator to house one of our Cryogenic Current Comparators (CCC).
Currently the system is mounted in a dewar of helium to provide the necessary temperature, but this requires refilling periodically and we wish to move to a closed setup which does not need additional cryogens for sustained periods of operation.
The asset must therefore: 1) Allow the existing CCC components to be mounting in the cold space of the fridge.
2) Hold a steady temperature of 4 K or less for a sustained period.
3) Not require any additional liquid cryogens for cool-down or whilst running.
Note: Due to the Prior Indicative Notice (PIN) Reference 2024/S 000-019150 Published on 21/06/2024 the Authority is reducing the tendering timescales to 21 days.
