This tender is for the purchase of one (1) superconducting qubit control system in the first instance, with the option to procure additional compatible systems and associated upgrades over the contract duration (up to five years) to support the ongoing scaling of NQCC’s quantum computing platforms and related research and development activity. The control system must enable NQCC researchers to measure and control superconducting multi-qubit systems for experimental research in quantum error correction for superconducting quantum computing. A suitable control system solution that can be scaled and upgraded over the contract term while maintaining technical compatibility will accelerate NQCC’s research programme in superconducting quantum computing. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31700000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £5,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 29/03/2026 to 30/03/2027 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 1 (pending) - Supplier(s): **Zurich Instruments AG** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-173399` - Value: £6,484,406 (exc.
