## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation has awarded a contract for the procurement of Geared actuator and Stepper Motor assembly for PIP-II Cavity Tuner to McLennan Servo Supplies Ltd. The procurement process was carried out using a limited procurement method with the rationale that the specific electromechanical actuators must operate reliably at low temperatures for an extended operational period, necessitating a single economic operator due to technical reasons. The contract value is £136,792.4, and it was signed on 16th January 2023. The location for delivery is in Warrington, United Kingdom.

This tender for Geared actuator and Stepper Motor assembly provides business opportunities for suppliers capable of providing reliable electromechanical actuators for cryogenic applications. The procurement is suited for businesses with expertise in precision engineering and supplying electromechanical components designed to operate at extremely low temperatures. Companies specialising in actuators for scientific research equipment and cryogenic systems are well-positioned to compete in this tender, offering solutions that meet the stringent technical requirements outlined by UK Research & Innovation.

Geared actuator and Stepper Motor assembly for PIP-II Cavity Tuner

### Procurement Information

Once the tuners are installed within a cryomodule, they will be inaccessible for maintenance without extensive engineering works, causing significant downtime at great financial cost. It is for this reason that the tuner must operate reliably at temperatures of 2K for an operational period of 20 years minimum. This SSA relates specifically to the purchase of the electromechanical actuators, which perform slow/coarse tuning of the cavities.
