To Supply and Deliver a Interferometer.

Tender description

This project is a key project to be delivered as part of the North Wales Growth Deal (now Ambition North Wales).The Growth Deal is a partnership between the public sector and the private sector, supported by funding from UK Government and Welsh Government. The Growth Deal builds on the Growth Vision for North Wales, adopted in 2016: “a confident, cohesive region with sustainable economic growth, capitalising on the success of high value economic sectors and our connection to the economies of the Northern Powerhouse & Ireland.” The summary of the scope of the supply of goods contract will be as follows: Hi-Res 4 MP Compact Portable Stabilized HeNe Laser Interferometer Advanced interferometer software for result analysis Training for up to 3 persons 12 month warranty Delivery and Installation before 31st March 2024 Lot 1: This project, the Enterprise Engineering and Optics Centre (EEOC), is a key project to be delivered as part of the North Wales Growth Deal (now Ambition North Wales). The aim of the North Wales Growth Deal is to build a more vibrant, sustainable, and resilient economy in North Wales, building on our strengths to boost productivity while tackling long-term challenges and economic barriers to delivering inclusive growth. It involves a new purpose-built engineering building of approximately 2,187M2 to be constructed at the Wrexham Plas Coch campus of the University. The Growth Deal is a partnership between the public sector and the private sector, supported by funding from UK Government and Welsh Government. The UK Government and Welsh Government are investing GBP240million into the North Wales Growth Deal over the next 15 years. The Growth Deal is seeking to deliver a total investment of up to 1.1bn GBP in the North Wales economy (240m GBPfrom the Growth Deal), to create 3,400 – 4,200 net additional jobs and generate 2.0- 2.4 billion GBP in net additional GVA. This procurement project covers item a 4D Technology PhaseCam 6010, which is a newer version of our PhaseCam 6000, but fully compatible with existing optical accessories, mounting features and geometry. This is a dynamic Twyman-Green Interferometer for metrology of precision optical surfaces and systems in a production environment (i.e., in the presence of environmental noise- vibration/air turbulence etc.). We propose to purchase a 4D Technology PhaseCam 6010, which is a newer version of our PhaseCam 6000, but fully compatible with existing optical accessories, mounting features and geometry.
