## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has initiated a tender for the procurement of Solid State RF Amplifiers, identified as UKRI-2286. This procurement project falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on amplifiers as described by the CPV classification number 32343000. The tender was published on 4th July 2022, and the submission deadline for bids is 10th August 2022. The contract is set to commence on 7th September 2022 and will run for one year, concluding on 6th September 2023. Bidders are required to deliver the products to locations in the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement process follows an open procedure, allowing for a wide range of suppliers to participate.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of RF amplifiers, particularly those who specialise in solid-state technologies. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this procurement invites competitive proposals that can demonstrate reliability and maintainability. Companies with expertise in advanced engineering solutions, especially those proficient in delivering innovative electrical components, will find this opportunity well-suited for growth and collaboration with a prominent research organisation.

## Notice

Introduction of a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section between the existing Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and Tank 1, utilising four resonant cavities along with quadrupole magnets, will permit a more efficient use of the available beam current in the linear accelerator. Options are requested to be presented for RF amplifiers using a solid state based approach to drive the four resonant cavities, plus one spare: a total of five (5) amplifiers are required. We are seeking a solution that provides a high level of reliability, maintainability and compatibility. Capabilities requested within this specification are chosen to also accommodate potential future requirements.
