The tender, titled "UKRI-2958 Radiation Modelling Services for Vulcan 20-20," falls under the services category within the industry classification of radiation protection services. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a contract value of £2,000,000. The deadline for submissions is 2nd June 2023, with the bid opening scheduled for the same date. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in radiation protection services to engage with UKRI in providing modelling and analysis for the electron beam dump extension. SMEs looking to secure long-term contracts in the research and innovation sector may find this tender of interest. The contract includes a renewal option up to 31st October 2027, offering potential for sustained business growth and collaboration with a prominent public sector body like UKRI. ## Notice UKRI has a need for radiation modelling services of an electron beam dump extension for the new Vulcan 20PW facility as part of it's Central Laser Facility which is currently under design development. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UKRI has a need for radiation modelling of an electron beam dump extension for the new Vulcan 20PW facility which is currently under design development. The desired radiation modelling will consist of: 1.Optimisation of an electron beam dump construction for a 4GeV electron beam (source terms to be provided by the CLF). The design would reduce radiation leakage on the facility to less than 2.5uSv/hr and minimise backscatter into the main facility. 2.Balance the localised beam dump shielding against the constructed building shielding to minimise associated building costs. 3.Impact of scattered radiation on the general facility building shielding (see detail A) 4.Gap analysis of dose leak rates around a removable shield wall (see detail B) The expected delivery is in the form of a formal report to the CLF with recommendations, modelling and analysis results. Formal communications throughout the work are expected to keep the CLF updated on progress as the work will be taking place in parallel to the building design. The overall aim of the radiation modelling is to determine the minimal shielding needed to incorporate into the building construction against that installed around the beam dump when it is added at a later date. Additional information: To respond to this opportunity please click here: https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/respond/5G6T35GA84 Renewal: The estimated value of the opportunity is PS50,000 excluding VAT for the initial purchasing of the Radiation Modelling Works. There is a maximum potential spend of up to a maximum of PS2,000,000.00 excluding VAT which can be used to account for additional purchases or contractual options that may be exercised across 2 years, with two optional extensions of one year starting from approximately 1st November 2023, and the agreement shall be in place until 31st October 2025 with optional extensions to 31st October 2026 and 31st October 2027. UKRI will only commit to the initial purchase as stated within Part 1 of Appendix B - Price Schedule. UKRI offers no guarantee that the additional purchases will be made as part of this contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012358-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | 2 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | £2,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK RESEARCH & INNOVATION | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90721600 - Radiation protection services ## Release History - 28 Apr 2023 at 15:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012358-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.ukri.org - https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/respond/5G6T35GA84 - https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Swindon:-Radiation-protection-services./5G6T35GA84 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Swindon:-Radiation-protection-services./5G6T35GA84 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
