4. Description: The mandate of the European Spallation Source ERIC
is to design, plan, construct, commission, operate and
decommission the European Spallation Source (ESS).
It is located in Lund, Sweden, co-hosted by Sweden
and Denmark and has more than 17 Partner
Countries, including the UK. The UK contribution is
coordinated by STFC. The facility will deliver its first
neutrons in 2019 and is expected to be fully
operational by 2025. The European Spallation Source
(ESS) will be one of the largest infrastructures in
Europe and will be used for neutron production for
materials research. It will use a long pulsed
superconducting linac and accelerate a 62.5 mA
proton beam current to the energy of 2000 MeV. Peak
beam power to the target will be 125 MW, 7 times
more than the highest power existing facility.
STFC are providing a number of goods and services
on behalf of the ESS. . This tender is for components
of the RF distribution system (RFDS) for the Spoke,
Medium beta elliptical and High beta elliptical cavities.
The supply shall comprise the components of the
RFDS. The number of WR1150 circulators and loads
required for MB is confirmed at 36, the number for HB
is currently being reviewed. The supplier should
therefore give costs for the range 36 to 120
circulators and loads to be supplied. The actual
number required will be known before Contract
signature. Note that the MB and HB circulators and
loads are the same.
