Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a contract titled "UKRI-4096 APA Mesh Frames" to Locker Wire Weavers Ltd. This procurement falls under the "Frames" industry category and involves the delivery and installation of mesh panels fabricated from stainless steel. The mesh panels will be used to improve the uniformity of electric field lines and shield charged wires, ultimately being housed in a cryostat submerged in liquid Argon. The project is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, with the contract term starting on 16th October 2024 and ending on 28th February 2027. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, and the total contract value is £800,000 GBP.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the fabrication and supply of specialised stainless steel components, particularly those with expertise in manufacturing precision wire mesh products. As the awarded supplier, Locker Wire Weavers Ltd, an SME, exemplifies the suitability of smaller enterprises for such specialised contracts. Companies looking to expand their presence in high-value engineering components and those capable of meeting technical requirements and certification standards would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

UKRI-4096 APA Mesh Frames

Notice Description

The Anode Plane Assemblies require a grounding layer of mesh panels. These will improve the uniformity of electric field lines around nearby charged wire planes and will also shield these charged wires from electrical signals originating inside the APA. The APA mesh panels are manufactured from metric section 304 or 316 stainless steel (certificate of conformity and material traceability is required) and fixed onto the APA via mesh panel brackets. Each mesh panel will be made by stretching wire mesh over - and welding to - rectangular frames fabricated from rectangular tubing. The fabrication of five different mesh panel designs is required, quantities for each size is detailed in the "Aim and objectives" section. The mesh panels will ultimately be housed in a cryostat, submerged in liquid Argon (LAr).
