## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is seeking tenders for the "UKRI-1575 Amplifier Cooling System" project, which falls under the cooling and ventilation equipment industry category. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with the tender period closing on 1st September 2021. The project is based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, located in the South East of the United Kingdom, with an estimated contract value between £200,000 and £240,000 GBP excluding VAT. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the cooling and ventilation sector, particularly those with experience in manufacturing or supplying specialised equipment for scientific facilities. Businesses that focus on engineering, technology solutions, or bespoke cooling systems would be well-suited to compete for this contract, allowing them to enhance their portfolio and engage in collaborative projects with UKRI.

## Notice

Cooling and ventilation equipment. UK Research and Innovation's (UKRI's) Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is building an advanced laser system. This system will be assembled, tested and operated at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK. The laser system contains an amplifier head which requires helium gas to flow over optical elements to extract a heat load. The amplifier head will operate at ambient temperatures, so it is expected that the heat will be removed from the helium cooling fluid using a helium-to-water heat exchanger. The specification documentation describes the technical requirements for this cooling system. The estimated value of the opportunity is PS200,000.00 to PS240,000.00 GBP excluding VAT.
