Summary of the contracting process

The Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), under the UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the procurement of Linear Actuators for beamlines at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and other UKRI departments. The DPS is categorised into Non-Vacuum and Vacuum Compatible Linear Actuators, split further into Encoded and Non-encoded types. The total value of the procurement is £5,000,000 GBP. The deadline for the initial joining stage is 10th November 2022, with the option to extend for a 3rd and 4th year if approved by UKRI.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses, particularly small or medium enterprises (SMEs), to participate in supplying Linear Actuators to the STFC. The tender process is currently in the active stage, operating under a selective procurement method with a Restricted procedure. Businesses providing Actuators within the specified categories - Non-Vacuum Encoded, Non-Vacuum Non-encoded, Vacuum Compatible Encoded, and Vacuum Compatible Non-encoded - are encouraged to apply. The contracting authority can be contacted at STFCprocurement@ukri.org for further details or clarifications.

Notice Title

UKRI-1643 Linear Actuators Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)

Notice Description

The Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), a component Research Council of UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), the Contracting Authority, is looking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System for the purchasing of both Non-Vacuum and Vacuum Compatible Linear Actuators for use on beamlines at our Central Laser Facility at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory as well as other departments across UKRI. Actuators with be grouped into specific Categories as follows: Category 1 - Linear Actuators -Non-Vacuum - Encoded Category 2 - Linear Actuators -Non-Vacuum - Non-encoded Category 3 - Linear Actuators - Vacuum Compatible - Encoded Category 4 - Linear Actuators - Vacuum Compatible - Non-encoded There is no guaranteed level of spend through this DPS. There are 4 separate eSourcing links, one for each Category of supply mentioned above. A separate application is required for each Category. The specific link for each Category is stated further down this Notice, each holds all tender documents
