## Description

NPL provides a measurement service which performs antenna calibrations for UK, European and worldwide businesses\. These businesses undertake electromagnetic compatibility testing and therefore require traceability to international standards and/or UKAS, which NPL provides\. A network vector analyser \(VNA\) plays an essential role in the measurement service, but the current equipment \(dating from 2007\) has now failed and must be replaced\. Therefore NPL wishes to procure a current-generation VNA which will operate at a higher tier of performance, delivering faster data transfer, higher accuracy and increased functionality\. Requirement is for quantity of one\. Additional information: The Authority is using the LUPC Bravo e-Procurement portal to conduct the procurement process\. All Suppliers must register their company via the LUPC Bravo Portal\.
