## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is conducting a tender for the supply of klystron modulators required by the Daresbury Laboratory, part of the Science & Technology Facilities Council. The project, titled "UK SBS RE150351 - CLARA Klystron Modulators", focuses on acquiring three modulators capable of delivering RF power with a minimum peak power of 70 MW. The procurement process, classified under the goods category, follows an open procedure and has an estimated value of £2,400,000. The current procurement stage is complete, with the initial tender period having concluded on 23 October 2015. The contract is expected to last until 11 November 2018, based in the North West of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and precision equipment, particularly those equipped to meet the advanced technical requirements outlined. Companies with expertise in manufacturing high-powered RF systems, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possessing relevant capabilities, are encouraged to participate. Those interested should ensure they are registered on the Crown Commercial Service’s e-Sourcing Suite, as registration is a prerequisite for involvement in this contract opportunity.

## Notice

The Daresbury Laboratory, part of The Science & Technology Facilties Council, requires 3 klystron modulators to deliver RF power to 3 normal conducting S-band linac cavities. These modulators must be able to deliver at least 70 MW of RF peak power and have the capability of providing RF pulse widths of up to 3 ms and be capable of operating at a repetition rate of up to 400 Hz. However, it should be noted that these conditions may not all be required at the same time. The tenderer must clearly state what is included within the bid and must clearly state any items that STFC are required to supply, which includes an estimate of STFC electrical/mechanical/technical support staff effort required by the supplier during the installation. Currently the funding exists to purchase one klystron modulator. However, it is anticipated that funding will be available in subsequent years to purchase a further 2 similar klystron modulators. Thus as part of the tender documentation cost options should be provided for a single modulator and also for the supply of 3 modulators.
