When this comes round again

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 brief

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.
