This study, classified under research and development services (CPV code: 73000000), seeks to develop a solution to meet specific technical specifications related to the Super MuSR chopper. The tender period concluded on 27 October 2020, and the contract was awarded on the same date for a total value of £72,000, with the contract period extending from 28 October 2020 to 28 June 2021. This opportunity represents significant potential for businesses in the research and development sector, particularly those with expertise in engineering, experimental development, and technology solutions. Companies that offer consultancy services capable of delivering comprehensive design, testing, and risk assessment in technical projects would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. As innovation continues to drive industry growth, businesses that can demonstrate effective problem-solving capabilities and technical proficiency will be highly sought after in this competitive tendering landscape. ## Notice UK Research and innovation had a requirement to commision a report to increase confidence in being able to deliver the expected Super MuSR chopper specification the report is to; Presentation of a solution that is expected to meet the full specification. A description and diagrams of the circuit used for the demonstration and proposal for the full system, including connection to the chopper plates. * If the demonstration system is of a single plate (see Section 5.2.1), then consideration for the opposite charge shall be presented. * Results from the design and testing of the demonstration system, which may include as is relevant: o Performance achieved; including voltage, rise time, jitter, pre and post transition waveforms, repetition rate and repeatability. o Effects of scaling the technology; such as change in rise time when increasing from one to two and from two to three series connected plates of parallel MOSFETs. o Conditions affecting performance. o Effect of load on performance. * An assessment of your level of confidence that the proposed solution is suitable to achieve the full specification, preferably in a risk assessment format where individual risks are identified and solutions presented. * Calculations and any assumptions made. * Suggestions of next steps needed to achieve full specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5827f78f-5c81-4b65-baa9-9c12ff8e5055 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 27 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Oct 2020 | | Contract period | 28 Oct 2020 - 28 Jun 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £72,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £72,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNITED KINGDOM RESEARCH AND INNOVATION | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KENTECH INSTRUMENTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services ## Release History - 19 Nov 2020 at 14:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5827f78f-5c81-4b65-baa9-9c12ff8e5055 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5827f78f-5c81-4b65-baa9-9c12ff8e5055 19th November 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=545831049 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
