UK SBS PR18099 Fermi Choppers for UKRI

Notice Description

*Please NOTE: This tender will close for the receipt of bids on Friday 28th, June 2019 at 14.00 BST.* The ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (ISIS) is a world-leading facility for research into science and materials as part of the Contracting Authority's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. ISIS hosts hundreds of researchers from across the globe on thirty seven different neutron and muon instruments.

The scope of this procurement is for these three systems, and the contractual option to purchase a fourth if STFC elects to do so. ***DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER*** Note : Please disregard any content in this notice that requests your organisation "to apply directly to the buyer" as this is unfortunately a system generated error that is outside of the Contracting Authority's control.
