This tender falls under the 'goods' category and was published on 5th August 2020. The tender period concluded on 31st August 2020, with an awarded contract valued at £130,576.80. The contract period spans from 2nd October 2020 to 31st March 2021. The method of procurement used was an open procedure below the threshold. This opportunity is well-suited for businesses that specialise in designing and manufacturing precision measurement instruments, particularly those familiar with radio frequency systems and noise analysis technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have the potential to participate in this procurement, thereby tapping into the research and development sector associated with high-quality electron beam generation for scientific applications. The successful provision of such instruments can lead to continued partnerships and expanded market presence within the academic and research infrastructure. ## Notice ***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION*** **The final date and time for the submission of bids is 31/08/2020 at 11:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal.** This requirement is for the design, manufacture, delivery and installation of a Low Noise Phase Noise Analyser to be used in verifying and fault finding various components on the CLARA accelerator located at the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) STFC Daresbury Laboratory. The UKRI- STFC is seeking to purchase a phase noise analyser system, to measure the noise performance of various CW and pulsed radio frequency systems in the carrier frequency range 3-12 GHz. The instrument will be utilised for development, debugging and maintenance of mainly but not limited to the timing distribution, synchronisation, laser, and RF acceleration systems on CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications). The CLARA accelerator consists of many components; oscillators, timing systems, RF and laser systems that must work together to produce a very high quality electron beam. In order to meet this requirement, specific components and systems must be characterised so that sources of noise can be diagnosed and solutions implemented that reduce noise effects to a level that provides optimum machine stability. CLARA has set a target timing stability for the electron beam of ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfbfb154-2dd7-448f-984d-4b883bde7e71 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 31 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Oct 2020 | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £130,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £130,576 | | 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 | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ROHDE & SCHWARZ | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38340000 - Instruments for measuring quantities ## Release History - 26 Oct 2020 at 14:22 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfbfb154-2dd7-448f-984d-4b883bde7e71 - 5 Aug 2020 at 14:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/32751b86-eece-4150-8227-dd7c2e202435 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfbfb154-2dd7-448f-984d-4b883bde7e71 26th October 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/32751b86-eece-4150-8227-dd7c2e202435 5th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://uksbs.delta-esourcing.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
