The NMS is the UK's infrastructure of laboratories providing world-class measurement science and maintains traceable measurement standards that underpin manufacturing, industry, and technology development. The NEL specializes in accurate flow measurement for liquids and gases, including oil, water, and gas metering. This contract supports critical areas including: industrial utility metering, alternative fuels development, carbon capture and storage, digital economy technologies (quantum computing, AI, IoT), and environmental monitoring for sustainability goals. The NMS provides essential scientific and technical infrastructure that has no alternative provider due to the specialized nature of the work and absence of competition.
