Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process initiated by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), titled "UKRI SSAPR18031 STFC X-Band Linearising Cavity", involves the delivery of a 12GHz travelling wave accelerating structure for linearisation. This purchase, classified under the particle accelerators industry category (CPV code: 31643000), was awarded to CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) with a contract value of £120,000. The tender period closed on 22 April 2018, and the contract commenced on 1 June 2018, running until 28 February 2019, taking place in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was a limited negotiated procedure, highlighting the specific and complex nature of this project.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for firms specialising in advanced engineering, specifically in areas related to particle physics and accelerator technologies. Companies that can demonstrate innovative solutions and high-quality manufacturing capabilities are particularly well-suited to compete in this domain. Additionally, businesses that fit within the voluntary and community sector (vcse) category may find avenues to engage with STFC, which focuses on fostering partnerships that yield scientific and societal benefits. The backing of a prestigious buyer like STFC can be instrumental for emerging firms seeking to establish a foothold in the research community.

Notice Description

CLOSING TIME FOR BIDS IS 22 April 2018 14:00 HOURS. DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER. To express your interest in this opportunity email expressionOfInterest@crowncommercial.gov.uk. To register on our e-sourcing portal click on https://gpsesourcing.cabinetoffice.gov.uk and follow the link "Supplier eSourcing registration". Note: Please disregard any content in this notice that requests your organisation "to apply directly to the buyer" as this unfortunately a system generated error, that is outside of the Contracting Authorities control. This requirement is for 12GHz travelling wave accelerating structure to be used as linearizer. Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is a world-leading multi-disciplinary science organisation, whose goal is to deliver economic, societal, scientific and international benefits to the UK and its people - and more broadly to the world. STFC support an academic community of around 1,700 in particle physics, nuclear physics, and astronomy including space science, who work at more than 50 universities and research institutes in the UK, Europe, Japan and the United States, including a rolling cohort of more than 900 PhD students. The organisation's large-scale scientific facilities in the UK and Europe are used by more than 3,500 users each year, carrying out more than 2,000 experiments and generating around 900 publications. The combination of access to world-class research facilities and scientists, office and laboratory space, business support, and an environment which encourages innovation has proven a compelling combination, attracting start-ups, SMEs and large blue chips such as IBM and Unilever.
