The core business of the company is to design, plan, construct, commission, operate and decommission the European Spallation Source (ESS). ESS ERIC is located in Lund, Sweden, co-hosted by Sweden and Denmark and has more than 22 Partner Countries, including the UK. The UK contribution is coordinated by STFC. The facility will deliver its first protons 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 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 the procurement of RF windows for the RF distribution system (RFDS) for the cold linac (including the Spoke, Medium beta elliptical and High beta elliptical sections). Further tenders will be made for the other RFDS components and its support structure
