Brief Description of Requirement
The Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), a component Research Council of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is a world-leading multi-disciplinary science organisation, whose goal is to deliver economic, societal, scientific and international benefits to the UK and its people - and more broadly to the world.
At its Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), The Central Laser Facility (CLF) is looking to purchase a vacuum chamber for use on a new beamline installation on the Vulcan Petawatt Laser. The project is to introduce a new ultra-short pulse laser beamline to the existing Petawatt laser to increase flexibility, enable a new range of experiments and provide an advanced probe for Petawatt laser-plasma interactions.
As part of the new beamline both an optical compressor chamber and a final focussing chamber are required for transport and conditioning of the beam. This tender covers the manufacture of the compressor vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber will be used to house the main compressor optical chain.
Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Document Uploads tab within the Delta eSourcing Portal.
This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the RFP document.
