Tandem Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Prior to initiating the procurement, NPL wishes to establish the level of market interest in the forthcoming procurement process.

Suitably qualified and experienced suppliers who may have an interest in this project are invited to register for this Preliminary Market Engagement.

The purpose of the market engagement is to help assess the reaction of the market, to understand risks and future possibilities to ensure a future proofed procurement strategy and resulting contract.

Any submission received in response to this exercise will not constitute any contractual agreement between the respondent and NPL. Nor does the receipt of a response automatically include the respondent in the procurement process.

A Tender Notice will be issued to the market which will provide details of how the relating procurement documentation can be accessed and timescales for submission of the said tender response.

Interested parties shall bear their own costs of participation in this Market Engagement of whatever nature. NPL shall not be liable for the costs, expenses or losses howsoever arising (including, without limitation, any loss of profit or other economic loss incurred), regardless of the outcome of the Market Engagement.

The next stage in the process will be considered once this exercise has been completed.
