Notice Title

UKRI-2958 Radiation Modelling Services for Vulcan 20-20

Notice Description

UKRI has a need for radiation modelling services of an electron beam dump extension for the new Vulcan 20PW facility as part of it's Central Laser Facility which is currently under design development.

Lot Information

Lot 1

UKRI has a need for radiation modelling of an electron beam dump extension for the new Vulcan 20PW facility which is currently under design development. The desired radiation modelling will consist of: 1.Optimisation of an electron beam dump construction for a 4GeV electron beam (source terms to be provided by the CLF). The design would reduce radiation leakage on the facility to less than 2.5uSv/hr and minimise backscatter into the main facility. 2.Balance the localised beam dump shielding against the constructed building shielding to minimise associated building costs. 3.Impact of scattered radiation on the general facility building shielding (see detail A) 4.Gap analysis of dose leak rates around a removable shield wall (see detail B) The expected delivery is in the form of a formal report to the CLF with recommendations, modelling and analysis results. Formal communications throughout the work are expected to keep the CLF updated on progress as the work will be taking place in parallel to the building design. The overall aim of the radiation modelling is to determine the minimal shielding needed to incorporate into the building construction against that installed around the beam dump when it is added at a later date.

Renewal: The estimated value of the opportunity is PS50,000 excluding VAT for the initial purchasing of the Radiation Modelling Works. There is a maximum potential spend of up to a maximum of PS2,000,000.00 excluding VAT which can be used to account for additional purchases or contractual options that may be exercised across 2 years, with two optional extensions of one year starting from approximately 1st November 2023, and the agreement shall be in place until 31st October 2025 with optional extensions to 31st October 2026 and 31st October 2027. UKRI will only commit to the initial purchase as stated within Part 1 of Appendix B - Price Schedule. UKRI offers no guarantee that the additional purchases will be made as part of this contract.
