    Brief

    The UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) is seeking to procure a superconducting qubit control system to support the development and scaling of quantum computing platforms. This initial purchase of one system includes options to acquire additional compatible systems and upgrades over a five-year contract period. The control system must enable researchers to measure and control multi-qubit superconducting systems for quantum error correction research. Successful solutions should be scalable, upgradeable, and maintain technical compatibility throughout the contract term to support NQCC's expanding quantum computing research programme. Suppliers should demonstrate capability in quantum control technology, system integration, and long-term technical support.
