Notice Title

GB-Swindon: UKRI-2776 SWIMMR S1 Technical Contribution

Notice Description

The estimated value of the opportunity is between PS103,000-PS108,000 GBP excl. VAT with PS108,000 GBP excl. VAT being the maximum budget available which cannot be exceeded. Bids received that exceed this value shall be deemed non-compliant and shall not be considered. STFC is responsible for the delivery of the "SWIMMR Project S1: Improved in-situ radiation measurements for space and aviation" project via a combination of support from STFC (high-level technical overview, science, PA/QA, project management), contractors, and guidance from the SWIMMR stakeholders, such as the Met Office. This procurement is concerned with a wide-range and yet very specific technical skills delivered via a single point of contact. The SWIMMR programme funds are 'in-year' funds hence the tender timeline and the milestones are of critical importance. The bidder would need to demonstrate that the tasks would carried out as specified with respect to task scope, timeline and budget. The Aviation and Trusted Strands (the latter also includes the IMF facility) are interlinked; there are existing milestones to adhere. Please see the full suite of documents held within the eSourcing Portal for the specification and bidding process. https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/respond/549J2488UH https://www.ukri.org/about-us/procurement-contract-transparency-data/ Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. https://www.ukri.org/about-us/procurement-contract-transparency-data/
