## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation is planning a tender for the procurement of a motion control system, specifically motorised actuators and controllers, for a new laser facility, classified under the lasers industry category. The estimated budget for this project ranges from £200,000 to £300,000. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a pre-market engagement webinar scheduled for 19th July 2021 at 12:00 PM. Interested suppliers must register by 15th July 2021 to participate in this event, which will include a presentation about the project and an opportunity for queries.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in automation, control systems, and related technological solutions, especially those experienced in working with modular systems that can be expanded. Companies that can provide compliant drivers for software integration with EPICS will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Moreover, the ongoing evolution of the motion control system may lead to further procurement opportunities across additional project work packages in the future.

## Notice

UKRI-STFC require a motion control system for a new laser facility. The motion control system needs to include motorised actuators which can be controlled so that multiple actuators can be moved at the same time. It is expected that approximately 150 - 200 actuators will be needed in the system, although the full complement will not need to be moved at the same time. This system will evolve over time and so will need to be modular in nature and capable of expansion at a later date. The motion system provided must include a means by which control can be achieved using external software.
