## Summary

UK Research & Innovation has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "UKRI-3937 ISIS Linear Accelerator," focused on sourcing a replacement amplifier for the ISIS Linear Accelerator. This project falls under the industry category of Amplifiers (CPV code 32343000) and covers a wide geographical scope including the United Kingdom, Europe, and other regions worldwide. The procurement stage has reached the award phase as of 22nd April 2024, with important dates including the contract start on 5th July 2024 and end on 31st December 2025. The total contract value is £1,607,832, and the procurement method was classified as 'Other.' Suitability is noted for SMEs but not VCSEs.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of high-technology amplifiers, particularly those capable of providing robust and reliable solutions for scientific research facilities. Companies with experience in delivering complex technical solutions on a global scale would find this contract highly suitable. The awarded supplier, Ampegon Power Electronics AG, is a large-scale company, indicating that businesses with similar capabilities stand a strong chance in future tenders of this nature. Engaging in such contracts not only promises financial growth but also boosts credibility and fosters long-term relationships with major scientific institutions like UK Research & Innovation.

## Notice

ISIS, sited at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), is the world's most productive pulsed neutron source. Intense bursts of neutrons are produced at 20mS intervals when a heavy metal target is bombarded by a high-energy (800 MeV) proton beam from a synchrotron accelerator releasing neutrons by the process of spallation. This is for a contract for a replacement for the Accelerator system which uses a thermionic triode valve (tube) amplifier which is coming to the end of its production life. This is required to ensure continued operation of the facility.
