Notice Information
Notice Title
UKRI-2649 NSTF Direct Field Acoustic Noise Facility
Notice Description
This procurement describes the activities to be executed and deliverables required by STFC in relation to the definition, supply, and commissioning of a Direct Field Acoustic Noise (DFAN) system. This system will to be used to test satellites and large sub-assemblies in the National Satellite Test Facility. An acoustic test system is required for the NSTF to permit the testing of any spacecraft up to 7000kg and to fit inside a 4.6m fairing to the levels and durations required by all the currently available launch systems. To achieve this, RAL Space intends to purchase a system using the latest commercially available DFAN technology to provide a uniform diffuse sound field to test their customer's satellites and large sub-assemblies. The use of DFAN technology gives the opportunity to reconfigure the system, add capacity when needed, and be open to future control upgrades and more flight representative test methods. Please refer to the eSourcing link to access all tender documents.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The core requirement is estimated at PS2,500,000.00 GBP to PS3,300,000.00 GBP (excluding VAT).

The price shall include delivery of all applicable hardware (within 12 months), software (within 12 months), software licences (for 5 years) and spares to ensure uninterrupted running of the system (for 5 years). Unlike the other major NSTF test facilities this system is not permanently installed, and the configuration can be changed to suit each test campaign. Major development of hardware and software is not expected as part of this procurement, so Design Reviews etc. will focus on the configurations proposed, their performance and safe assembly and operation. The full technical specification for this procurement can be found at the eProcurement Portal link within this notice. It is essential that all the documents are fully read, understood and assessed when considering this opportunity. https://www.ukri.org/who-we-are/procurement-contract-transparency-data/
