## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation organisation has initiated a tender for the procurement of a regenerative DC load for sinking 9500A at 50V. The tender, identified as UKRI-2345 Regenerative DC Test Load, falls under the 'goods' category with a contract value of £450,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with a tender deadline set for 26th September 2022. The contract period is scheduled to run from 2nd November 2022 to 2nd May 2023.

This tender opportunity from UK Research & Innovation presents a chance for businesses involved in providing power relays to participate in the procurement process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as the tender is deemed suitable for them. The requirement for a constant resistance test load for the ISIS synchrotron project creates a niche for companies specialising in this technology, aiming to support the commissioning and testing phases effectively.

## Notice

This requirement is for a regenerative DC load capable of sinking 9500A at 50V, returning the power to the grid with a high degree of efficiency. The primary requirement of the system is to act as a constant resistance test load during acceptance testing and commissioning of a replacement highly stabilised DC current controlled power supply for the ISIS synchrotron, where testing with the real load is not practical.
