When this comes round again

Daresbury Laboratory publishes Radio, TV & Communications Equipment work continuously — 5 notices, roughly one every 15 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

8% of Daresbury 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 organisation's large-scale scientific facilities in the UK and Europe are used by more than 3,500 users each year, carrying out more than 2,000 experiments and generating around 900 publications.

The combination of access to world-class research facilities and scientists, office and laboratory space, business support, and an environment which encourages innovation has proven a compelling combination, attracting start-ups, SMEs and large blue chips such as IBM and Unilever.

This requirement is for the supply of a Pulse Characterisation Device to be used within the Central Laser Facility at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
