    Brief

    This opportunity seeks the supply and delivery of fifteen reconfigurable servo controller units for use in NPL's precision measurement and quantum technology research laboratories. Each unit must feature full PIID (Proportional-Integral-Integral-Derivative) loop filter capability with bandwidth up to 10 MHz, internal ramp generation, auxiliary servo channels for long-term drift compensation, piezoelectric transducer (PZT) control, automatic relock capability, and servo signal offset control. The controllers will stabilize and control lasers, optical systems, frequency references, and precision measurement instruments used in national measurement standards development, quantum technology programmes, and advanced experimental research. The contract includes equipment supply, delivery, transport, customs handling, comprehensive warranty support, technical documentation, and full manufacturer support services to ensure successful deployment and operation. Suppliers should be experienced in providing servo control solutions for high-precision scientific and metrology applications.
