    Brief

    University College Cork seeks to establish a Quantum Gravimetry Laboratory and is procuring commercial gravimetry instruments to support this initiative. The procurement includes: (1) A portable field relative gravimeter capable of high-precision gravity measurements for microgravity surveys, underground engineering applications, geotechnical and environmental investigations, instrument comparison, and research and teaching purposes. (2) A vertical gravity gradient tripod compatible with the field gravimeter to enable gravity gradient measurements, particularly valuable for applications in tunnels, underground spaces, and shallow anomaly investigations where regional gravity field assessment is challenging. Suppliers should be capable of providing calibrated, precision instrumentation with technical support and training for university research operations.
