Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation is seeking tenders for the "GB-Didcot: UKRI-1145 W-Band Cryogenic Faraday Isolators" project, aimed at procuring 36 isolators for a multi-pixel W-band receiver to be installed in Italy. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The open procedure tender will remain active until 22 April 2021, with a budget set at £88,000 excluding VAT. The contract period is expected to commence on 10 May 2021 and end on 9 May 2022.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for companies specialised in manufacturing precision laboratory equipment, particularly those experienced in cryogenic technology and Faraday devices. Businesses capable of meeting the specific performance requirements, such as operating within the 70GHz to 116GHz frequency range and employing non-standard waveguide flange interfaces, would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Engaging with this tender can enable companies to establish partnerships in high-tech and scientific industries, enhancing their market presence.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-Didcot: UKRI-1145 W-Band Cryogenic Faraday Isolators

Notice Description

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), a component Research Council of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), 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 are commissioned to design, build, test, and deliver a multi pixel W-band receiver for a third-party customer based in the European Union (EU). The receiver will be permanently installed on a radio telescope facility located in Italy. This tender is for the procurement of 36 isolators for the multipixel receiver. We anticipate the isolators will use the Faraday rotation principle, and shall be primarily operated at cryogenic temperatures below 30K. Performance specifications of the isolators must cover the frequency range 70GHz to 116GHz, which for the purposes of the present tender we label as extended W-Band, and at the required operational temperatures. It shall also use a non-standard waveguide flange interface for both input and output ports. Isolator performance requirements and waveguide flange details are provided in the following sections. Full specification details can be found within the tender documentation. Please note, the budget for this requirement is PS88,000 ex-VAT, DDP.
