Brief Description of Requirement

A next-generation light source test facility is to be constructed at the Daresbury Laboratory which will be known as CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications). The aim of the CLARA project is to develop a normal conducting test accelerator capable of generating longitudinally and transversely bright electron bunches and to use these bunches in the experimental production of stable, synchronised, ultra-short photon pulses of coherent light from a single pass FEL (Free Electron Laser) with techniques directly applicable to the future generation of light source facilities.

UKRI STFC requires a total of eight RF windows for the CLARA facility. Each window must be capable of handling RF peak powers of up to 45 MW. All of these RF systems will be operated at a frequency of 2998.5 MHz with a pulse width of up to 3 µs and a repetition rate up to 400 Hz.

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System.

This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ / RFP document.
