Coverage: 59 active published awards; 23 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
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.
