## Notice

*Please NOTE: This tender will close for the receipt of bids on Wednesday 10th April 2019 at 11.00 BST.* The Science & 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. At its Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), STFC's RAL Space has two 5m Diameter Vacuum Chambers, referred to as Space Test Chamber 2 and 3 (STC-2 and STC-3). This procurement is for the design, manufacture, supply and delivery to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory of two Shroud Panel sets for use in STC-2 and STC-3. It is the Contracting Authority's intention to place TWO contracts (one for each set of panels) with two different suppliers (the two highest-scored, compliant bids received) as a result of this procurement. ***DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER*** Note : Please disregard any content in this notice that requests your organisation "to apply directly to the buyer" as this is unfortunately a system generated error that is outside of the Contracting Authority's control.
