## Description

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are having to withdraw this procurement, effective immediately, and will not be awarding a contract for this RFQ\. We are likely to be running a further RFQ in future and notices will be published if this arises\. The NPL requirement is to test thermo-mechanical reliability of electronic circuits by subjecting them to regular thermal excursions across an extended operational range\. The tests we will run will be used by most electricals with high reliability and electrical system manufacturers for their type approval testing\. Similar systems are used within the industry to provide fitness for purpose testing for new designs and material combinations\. The innovative metrology developed by NPL for high temperature materials and manufacturing techniques, is required for electric and hybrid development, oil/gas, and aerospace partners\. This is required for benchmarking against these widely accepted industry standards\.
