## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has initiated a procurement process titled "UKRI-1575 Amplifier Cooling System," classified under the goods category for cooling and ventilation equipment. This procurement, located in Oxfordshire, follows an open procedure method and is currently in the award stage, having been signed on 1st October 2021, with a contract value of approximately £231,522.96. The opportunity aims to facilitate the development of an advanced laser system at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, with a contract period of 360 days. The associated tender had a closing deadline for submissions set for 1st September 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the cooling and ventilation sector, particularly those capable of providing specialised equipment as outlined in the procurement specifications. Businesses positioned to lead in technological innovations related to thermal management systems, especially with experience in helium-based cooling solutions, would be well-suited to compete. SMEs looking to diversify their portfolios with contracts from public authorities should consider engaging with this tender to expand their market presence.

## Notice

Cooling and ventilation equipment. UK Research and Innovation's (UKRI's) Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is building an advanced laser system. This system will be assembled, tested and operated at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK. The laser system contains an amplifier head which requires helium gas to flow over optical elements to extract a heat load. The amplifier head will operate at ambient temperatures, so it is expected that the heat will be removed from the helium cooling fluid using a helium-to-water heat exchanger. The specification documentation describes the technical requirements for this cooling system. The estimated value of the opportunity is PS200,000.00 to PS240,000.00 GBP excluding VAT.
