Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by UK Research & Innovation was for the design, manufacture, testing, delivery, and installation of a Freia Sample Positioning System, classified under laboratory and optical equipment. This tender was categorised as a goods procurement and was conducted through an open procedure. However, the tender has since been cancelled, and all related activities were marked as unsuccessful. The location for delivery was specified as the East of England, and the key dates for this procurement were primarily in September 2021.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced engineering and precision equipment, particularly those involved in laboratory technology and systems integration. Companies that can demonstrate high-quality manufacturing capabilities and cost-effective solutions would be well-positioned to participate should a similar procurement arise in the future. The involvement of a prominent research organisation highlights the demand for innovative approaches and cutting-edge technology in the field of scientific research and development.

Notice Title

UKRI-1655 Freia Sample Positioning System

Notice Description

The requirement is for the design, manufacture, testing, delivery and installation of the Sample Positioning System to ESS Lund Sweden. The Sample Positioning System (SPS) will be used to orient samples in the neutron beam during experiments. Alignment of the flat surface or interface under examination is achieved through closed-loop feedback from the downstream neutron detector. The SPS will be used with a diverse range of sample configurations. Some of the key sample cases have been briefly described here, though as Freia is designed to cover a wide range of samples, this is not an exhaustive account of the samples that will be used

Lot Information

Lot 1

The SPS will be used with a diverse range of sample configurations. Some of the key sample cases have been briefly described here, though as Freia is designed to cover a wide range of samples, this is not an exhaustive account of the samples that will be used. The motion requirements set out in SS5.2 provide flexibility to cover the range of conceivable samples.
