This open tender, identified as UKSBS PR150123, published on 30 November 2016, has a total contract value of £800,000, with a minimum threshold of £700,000. The tender period concluded on 31 January 2017, and the contract period is set to run from 27 February 2017 to 26 February 2021, primarily in the goods category, specifically related to methane products. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific equipment manufacturing and supply, particularly those dealing in laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. Companies, especially SMEs, well-versed in engineering and assembly services related to cryogenic technology, are particularly suited to seize this opportunity by participating in the bidding process and potentially partnering with UK SBS for future projects, aligning with their goal of enhancing public sector efficiency and modernisation. ## Notice STFC is a world-leading multi-disciplinary science organisation, whose goal is to deliver economic, societal, scientific and international benefits to the UK and its people - and more broadly to the world. ISIS is the world's brightest pulsed neutron and muon source and is situated at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (Oxfordshire, UK). It produces neutrons by firing a narrow, high-energy beam of protons at the Target. The neutrons are then slowed down by allowing them to deposit heat in the liquid hydrogen and solid methane moderators (both cryogenically cooled) and then extracted through holes in the reflector. This procurement is for Moderators, it is our intention to purchase up to a maximum of Qty 3 Decoupled Moderators and Qty 1 Coupled Moderator per year, over a total of 4 years.
