## Summary

The procurement process is led by UK Shared Business Services Limited, which is seeking bids for the tender titled "ESS Aluminium Supports." This project falls under the goods category and relates to the construction industry, specifically for the European Spallation Source (ESS) Project in Lund, Sweden. The contract, valued at £51,847.38, involves the procurement of assembled aluminium accelerator support structures, and is currently in the award stage. The contract period commences on 3rd September 2018 and concludes on 31st December 2018, with the tender period having ended on 31st August 2018.

This opportunity presents a significant prospect for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying structural goods. Companies capable of delivering high-quality aluminium components and those with experience in similar projects or working with international entities, especially in the construction or engineering sectors, would be well-suited to participate. The single tender action method indicates that this was a direct procurement process, which may be advantageous for specific suppliers looking to engage with government contracts.

## Notice

As part of the PS168m UK contribution to the European Spallation Source (ESS) Project in Lund, Sweden, STFC needs to procure additional assembled aluminium accelerator support structure which must be the same as the existing ESS support structure that is already in place. The structure will be manufactured, assembled and then delivered directly to ESS in Lund, Sweden.
