The tender is currently active and is at the Tender stage, with bids closing on 10 March 2017 at 14:00 hours. This opportunity involves the delivery of two dipole magnets for the Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications (CLARA) project at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in England. The contract duration is set for six months beginning from 17 March 2017 and has a total value of £60,000, with a minimum value of £50,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the electrical equipment sector, particularly those that specialise in manufacturing scientific apparatus and precision equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, as the procurement is suitable for them. Companies with expertise in the production of laboratory equipment, especially those experienced with high-precision components for research applications, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice CLOSING TIME FOR BIDS IS 10/03/2017 14:00 HOURS. DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER. To express your interest in this opportunity email ExpressionOfInterest@crowncommercial.gov.uk. To register on our e-sourcing portal click on https://gpsesourcing.cabinetoffice.gov.uk and follow the link "Register for CCS eSourcing" The Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC) at STFC Daresbury Laboratory is currently building a new FEL test facility, CLARA - the Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications. The facility will be used for research into efficient FEL schemes to produce ultra-short pulses of high-brightness coherent light. The CLARA Conceptual Design Report (CDR) was published in July 2013, and can be found on the ASTeC website: http://www.stfc.ac.uk/ASTeC/resources/PDF/CLARA_CDRv2.pdf. The electron beamline will transport an electron beam from the 6 MeV gun, through a series of linacs which accelerate the beam to a final energy of 240 MeV. The magnets listed in this contract are two dipoles for two of CLARA's spectrometer beamlines, used to measure the energy of the beam following acceleration. Each of these will bend a high-energy beam through 30deg. The Contract duration shall be for a period of 6 months from commencement of the Contract.
