## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is seeking suppliers for the procurement of a High Pressure Rinse System, focusing on engineering and laboratory equipment. This procurement process is currently at the Award stage, having been initially published on 31st January 2017, with ongoing activities leading to the contract period starting on 5th April 2017 and lasting until 4th April 2018. The tender submission deadline was on 16th March 2017 at 14:00, and the associated project is based in Warrington at the Science and Technology Facilities Council Daresbury Laboratory.

This opportunity is well-suited for businesses that specialise in engineering design services, miscellaneous engineering, and technical services, particularly those adept in the fabrication and installation of laboratory-grade equipment. The project's minimum value is £200,000, with a total contract value of £250,000, appealing especially to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) keen on expanding their footprint in high-tech sectors. Suppliers with experience in cleanroom environments and projects involving high-beta superconducting cavities will particularly benefit from this contract.

## Notice

**THE CLOSING DATE FOR THIS TENDER IS 16TH MARCH 2017 AT 14:00, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY DIRECT TO THE BUYER** An opportunity arises for the design, fabrication, factory acceptance, delivery, installation and commissioning of a High Pressure Rinse System to meet the required specification. This facility will be located within a Cleanroom environment on the site of the Science and Technology Facilities Council Daresbury Laboratory in Warrington, and will be used to facilitate the following as part of an In-Kind Contribution to the European Spallation Source (ESS). The Science & Technology Facilities Council Daresbury Laboratory has agreed to procure, fabricate, test and deliver 84 + 4 (5-cell) High-Beta superconducting (RF)704.41 MHz cavities for the ESS High Beta Project. Each cavity externally is approximately a cylinder of 1.3m length and 0.45m (not including He pipe) diameter, weighing approximately 170kg. The design chosen for ESS are hollow metallic structures (in this case, Niobium), designed to operate in vacuum. In order to achieve their performance specifications, these cavities need to have good vacuum and RF properties. In particular, in order to reduce undesirable electron emission caused by enhancement of the high (~20 MV/m) electric fields, the cavity surfaces must be free of particulate contaminants which can act as field enhancers. This is achieved through utilising a High Pressure ultra-pure water rinsing cycle with specific water jets in an ISO4 cleanroom (similar to a Class 10 cleanroom).
