To register on our e-sourcing portal click on https://gpsesourcing.cabinetoffice.gov.uk and follow the link "Register for CCS eSourcing ISIS Target Production Section requires an EDM machine to shorten the time it takes to manufacture targets and thereby mitigate the high risk of ISIS not running, at a cost of PS300 K per day, due to a target not being available. The machine will be able to form and polish the Tungsten components in the target and thereby remove the need to send this to an external company for processing which are crucial to the target development programme.
