en.Wedoany.com Reported - The UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is planning to build a new data center facility. The institution has issued a project pipeline notice for an upcoming tender, with an estimated contract value of £9.6 million (approximately $12.9 million), aimed at delivering a "fully operational, sovereign, high-assurance secure data center environment."

According to the notice, the project falls under building installation works, meaning the data center will be deployed within an existing building shell. The contract execution period is set from July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. The specific scale and capacity of the data center have not yet been disclosed.

Located in Teddington, southwest London, NPL is one of the world's oldest metrology research institutions, responsible for establishing and maintaining physical standards for UK industry. Its research areas also encompass quantum technologies, including quantum computing. NPL is also responsible for the UK's national time standard, UTC(NPL), which has been in operation for 30 years and has provided fiber-optic-based end-to-end timekeeping services, NPLTime, over the past eight years, supporting the financial industry in meeting regulatory compliance requirements. Telehouse has partnered with NPL to launch a "Time as a Service" offering at its London data center.
