This opportunity falls under the goods category, specifically relating to laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, excluding glasses. The tender is currently in the active stage and has a submission deadline set for 13th April 2022. The project is based in Swindon, United Kingdom, and has a total contract value of £200,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing extensive participation from interested economic operators. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the design, manufacturing, and assembly of precision equipment, particularly those with expertise in vacuum systems and neutron transport technology. Businesses that can demonstrate quality alongside competitive pricing will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The scope of work emphasises the delivery of a vacuum vessel assembly, making it particularly relevant for companies specialising in advanced engineering and quality assurance processes. ## Notice The subject of work is the design and supply of the Freia collimation vessel, which maintains a vacuum environment for optimal neutron transport. The collimation vessel is located inside the instrument cave, upstream of the sample position. The vessel is installed on a concrete base, which provides a stable foundation. Within the vessel a number of components are mounted on translation stages, to enable the instrument to be reconfigured to different operating modes. Included within the scope of work is: * The design of the equipment that is to be supplied * All sourcing, manufacturing and assembly activities associated with the supply of the equipment (unless otherwise stated within the specification). *The delivery of the vacuum vessel assembly to the STFC RAL site, and all packaging and handling activities associated with this delivery. * Defining, implementing, and documenting the results of, the quality control and assurance plan ### Lot Information Lot 1 The subject of work is the design and supply of the Freia collimation vessel, which maintains a vacuum environment for optimal neutron transport.
