## About this tender

### Attempted Fraud Alert

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has become aware of a fraud operation operating ostensibly under our name, targeting ICT suppliers.

Suppliers are approached usually by a man claiming to be Gary Phillips (one of our real employees) who will seek quotations for ICT equipment (high-end servers and other high-value items) which they will usually ask to be shipped to freight forwarding companies with names such as 'National Physical Laboratory Goods Receiving Center' and usually marked for the attention of a 'Jackie Brown'.

At least 40 suppliers are known to have been targeted so far.

Suppliers are advised that any email or communication purporting to be from NPL but having any domain name OTHER THAN 'npl.co.uk' is likely to be fraudulent.

Suppliers are advised to remain diligent and to question anything that looks suspicious by contacting NPL directly (contact details can be found at [npl.co.uk](https://www.npl.co.uk)) or by contacting the real Gary Phillips at  who can confirm if any such communication came from himself.

Thank you for your diligence.
