## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a contract for the provision of Magnetic Shields for the PIP-II Cryomodules as part of an upgrade to the Fermilab accelerator complex. This procurement, categorized under Particle accelerators (CPV 31643000), includes the delivery of goods to the UKRI Science and Technology Facilities Council's location at Sci-Tech Daresbury in Warrington, UK. The procurement process followed an open procedure and had an estimated contract value ranging between £900,000 and £1,100,000 excluding VAT, including optional items. The award was made to Magnetic Shield Corporation on 5th December 2024, and the procurement was finalized by UKRI.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), looking to engage with a high-profile scientific project. Companies specialising in the production of advanced shielding materials and components for scientific research facilities can leverage this contract to build their portfolios and gain recognition in the field of accelerator technology. The key criteria for the award were based on technical quality (70%) and cost (30%), positioning businesses that offer high technical expertise and competitive pricing to benefit most from participating in such tenders.

## Notice

UKRI wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of Magnetic Shields for PIP-II Cryomdoules. The site address for delivery of the goods and/or services is: UK Research and Innovation Science and Technology Facilities Council Sci-Tech Daresbury Daresbury Laboratory Keckwick Lane Warrington WA4 4AD

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The estimated value of the opportunity is: For the PIP-II magnetic shield, PS600,000.00 -PS730,000.00 Excluding VAT For Optional Items which is a third set of the Magnetic Shields, there is an additional PS300,000.00 Excluding VAT, if all options are taken. Note, these are options and are not guaranteed. Therefore the total estimated potential value for this tender opportunity is PS900,000.00-PS1,100,00.00 Excluding VAT. The site address for delivery of the goods and/or services is: UK Research and Innovation Science and Technology Facilities Council Sci-Tech Daresbury Daresbury Laboratory Keckwick Lane Warrington WA4 4AD The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) is an upgrade of the Fermilab accelerator complex, that generates the world's most intense neutrino beam travelling 1300 km from Illinois to the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) in South Dakota. DUNE scientists will use neutrinos to answer some of the most profound questions about our universe. In addition, the high-power proton beams sourced by PIP-II will enable muon-based experiments to search for new particles and forces at unprecedented levels of precision and a diverse physics program powering new discoveries for decades to come.

Options: A third set of the Magnetic Shield, at an additional PS300,000.00 Excluding VAT, may be purchased if UKRI decide to purchase. Please note, these are options and are not guaranteed.
