This opportunity falls under the goods category within the lasers industry, with a contract valued between £100,000 and £150,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2021 and conclude on 1 October 2021, and the procurement method used was an open procedure. The tender had a submission deadline that was concluded by 31 March 2021, with the delivery expected at the Rutherford Appleton Lab, located in the South East of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the laser technology sector, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive solutions that meet the detailed specifications required for high-performance laser equipment. Businesses that offer ancillary services such as installation, operator training, and documentation in English would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The unique requirement for a key component of a Yb:YAG laser system may also attract firms with expertise in related optical technologies and systems integration. ## Notice UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) - Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) have a requirement for the supply of a 100Hz, mJ-class (millijoule) pulsed laser amplifier. The supply of this System is requested by STFCto form an integral part of the front end for a 10 J Yb:YAG laser system being built and operated STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab (RAL). The proposal covers the delivery of all components necessary, including: *Main laser amplifier unit containing all optical components assembled into a single, rigid mechanical unit. *All ancillary equipment, such as power supplies and chillers which shall be compatible with mounting in a 19" rack *All cabling and piping required, lengths to be confirmed but the distance between the supply rack and optical table is likely to be > 10m. *Factory demonstration of system performance. *Installation at site of RAL and demonstration of performance to specification. *Operator training by a dedicated engineer. *Documentation in English Full details of the specification can be found within the tender documentation. The estimated value of the opportunity is PS100,000.00 - PS150,000.00 exclusive of VAT.
