## Summary

The procurement process for the "Injection Dipole" project is led by UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England. This contract falls under the electrical machinery and apparatus category and has an estimated value of £840,000. The tender process was concluded on 26th January 2017, with the contract period commencing on 27th March 2017 and extending until 26th March 2018. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, facilitating broader competition among suppliers.

This contract presents promising opportunities for businesses specialising in high-performance electrical machinery and power supply systems. Companies capable of delivering reliable and efficient pulsed power solutions, particularly those with experience in high current applications, would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as larger firms, are encouraged to explore this tender, given the significant scope and critical performance specifications outlined in the contract requirements.

## Notice

This requirement is for a pulsed power supply for the ISIS injection dipole. The new power supply will give a 15 kA pulsed output with a rise and fall time of 100 us and a nominal flat top of 500 us. The designated load is described in AW18-2. The supplier will specify the output cable to be used. The cable is expected to be a significant proportion of the load. The flat top, fall time and zero current stability of the pulsed output are critical to operational needs. A 'Start Trigger' will signal the beginning of the rise time. This will occur before the proton beam is present and is therefore of lower importance. The pulsed output is expected to be at operating current and stable by the time the beam is injected. A 'Stop Tigger' will then signal the beginning of the fall time. During this time the proton beam will be circulating in the synchrotron and passing through the magnets. The magnet current will fall to zero within 100 us before acceleration of the protons begins. The current must then be stable at zero, when measured with no beam, for the remainder of the cycle. The power supply will be used at an operational facility and must have high performance, reliability and availability.
