The estimated contract value ranges from £103,000 to £108,000 GBP, with £108,000 GBP being the maximum budget. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender period ending on 30th January 2023. The contract period is set to run from 3rd February 2023 to 30th April 2023 in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity presents favourable conditions for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to compete. Businesses with expertise in technical support services tailored towards in-situ radiation measurements for space and aviation are well-suited for this tender. Successful bidders must demonstrate adherence to project milestones, timelines, and budgets, aligning closely with the SWIMMR project specifications provided by STFC. The opportunity offers a single point of contact for a broad yet specific range of technical skills, creating a platform for SMEs to showcase their capabilities in this specialised field. ## Notice The estimated value of the opportunity is between PS103,000-PS108,000 GBP excl. VAT with PS108,000 GBP excl. VAT being the maximum budget available which cannot be exceeded. Bids received that exceed this value shall be deemed non-compliant and shall not be considered. STFC is responsible for the delivery of the "SWIMMR Project S1: Improved in-situ radiation measurements for space and aviation" project via a combination of support from STFC (high-level technical overview, science, PA/QA, project management), contractors, and guidance from the SWIMMR stakeholders, such as the Met Office. This procurement is concerned with a wide-range and yet very specific technical skills delivered via a single point of contact. The SWIMMR programme funds are 'in-year' funds hence the tender timeline and the milestones are of critical importance. The bidder would need to demonstrate that the tasks would carried out as specified with respect to task scope, timeline and budget. The Aviation and Trusted Strands (the latter also includes the IMF facility) are interlinked; there are existing milestones to adhere.
