## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation has awarded a contract for the procurement of Solid State RF Amplifiers under an open procedure. The contract value is £208,000, with a contract period starting on September 27, 2022, and ending on September 25, 2023. The procurement stage has been completed, and ICEoxford Ltd was awarded the contract. The procurement was classified under goods and was located in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in the manufacture and supply of amplifiers to compete for the contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to participate in this procurement process. The UK Research and Innovation aims to introduce a more efficient beam transport system, creating a business opportunity for companies offering reliable and maintainable RF amplifiers using a solid-state-based approach. Businesses interested in providing solutions for high-tech equipment in the amplifiers sector can benefit from engaging in this procurement process.

## Notice

Introduction of a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section between the existing Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and Tank 1, utilising four resonant cavities along with quadrupole magnets, will permit a more efficient use of the available beam current in the linear accelerator. Options are requested to be presented for RF amplifiers using a solid state based approach to drive the four resonant cavities, plus one spare: a total of five (5) amplifiers are required. We are seeking a solution that provides a high level of reliability, maintainability and compatibility. Capabilities requested within this specification are chosen to also accommodate potential future requirements.
