This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in electronic and electromechanical components to engage with a significant infrastructure project in Europe. Companies that have experience in supplying RF distribution systems or similar technologies would be highly well-suited to compete. By participating in this tender, businesses not only have the potential to secure a lucrative contract but also to establish a long-term relationship with a key player in cutting-edge materials research infrastructure, as the European Spallation Source is set to become one of the largest facilities of its kind. ## Notice The mandate of the European Spallation Source ERIC is to design, plan, construct, commission, operate and decommission the European Spallation Source (ESS). It is located in Lund, Sweden, co-hosted by Sweden and Denmark and has more than 17 Partner Countries, including the UK. The UK contribution is coordinated by STFC. The facility will deliver its first neutrons in 2019 and is expected to be fully operational by 2025. The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be one of the largest infrastructures in Europe and will be used for neutron production for materials research. It will use a long pulsed superconducting linac and accelerate a 62.5 mA proton beam current to the energy of 2000 MeV. Peak beam power to the target will be 125 MW, 7 times more than the highest power existing facility.STFC are providing a number of goods and services on behalf of the ESS. This tender is for components of the RF distribution system (RFDS) for the Spoke, Medium beta elliptical and High beta elliptical cavities.
