## Summary

The procurement process for the UK SBS Custom Thyratron was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, which is located in Swindon, England. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on rectifiers and related components, with a total contract value of £30,882. The contract was awarded on 14 March 2017, and the contract period extends from 16 March 2017 to 30 June 2017. This was a limited procurement method, whereby the contract was awarded without prior publication of a contract notice, and the tender period concluded on 15 March 2017.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in electronic components and industrial equipment, particularly those experienced in manufacturing or supplying thyratron devices and related technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find themselves particularly well-positioned to compete in this procurement process, given the focus on niche products such as the extract kicker system components vital for operational reliability in scientific applications.

## Notice

The extract kicker system is in place at the Second Target Station at ISIS and includes two 10Hz magnets in order to extract laser beams. The extract kicker system has been designed entirely around the CX1925X thyratron. Thyratrons have a finite life and require replacement periodically to ensure operational reliability is maintained. The thyratron is a central component in the Extract Kickers and must be replaced with an identical model as the system is designed around the thyratron itself.
