Procurement strategy • All items to be delivered will be procured externally • The support structure will be designed by the Projects and Mechanical Engineering group at Daresbury. • Due to the value, all of these tenders will all be subjected to the European tender system (OJEU).

UKSBS • All STFC Procurement is run through UKSBS (all Research Councils and BIS – have done many tenders!) • UKSBS have dedicated ESS contact • Allan Norman • STFC have in place ex-UKSBS member of staff to liaise with Allan Norman. • John Webber • Once in place UKSBS manage tendering through Emptoris system • Advertised via TED http://www.uksbs.co.uk/services/procure
Status • Drafts for tenders 1 and 2 done and circulated: - Request for Proposals (RFP), aka SoW - Questions - Contact details for possible suppliers • To be discussed today/tomorrow • Documents for tender 2 have been seen and commented on by Allan and John (several times) • Documents for tender 1 basically the same • Aim now: - finish off RFPs - finalise questions - get agreement to proceed: ESS, Project Board, JG
Procedure • All done electronically • Specifications prepared by us and included in Request for Proposals (RFP) document • Standard “Selection questionnaire“: - mainly from UKSBS - some input from us possible • “Award qustionnaire”: - some standard UKSBS questions - rest from us • All our input checked by Allan Norman • Questions uploaded by him
Procedure • First step: once questions agreed, send to Allan • Second step: once RFP agreed, send to Allan • Allan will check and upload • Still possible to change things at this point • Third step: once everything ready, Allan gets approval to proceed • Still possible to make small changes • Fourth step: Notice of tender • List of companies will be emailed • All responses go through Emptoris, with Allan as contact • Companies must be registered to respond
Procedure • Various types of award questions: - Mandatory Yes/No - Discretionary Yes/No - Self-evaluation scoring questions - Evaluation pass/fail questions - Evaluation scoring questions - For information only • Evaluation committee: - Chaired by Allan - Will all sit in the same room and reach consensus - Evaluation entered directly into Emptoris • Result then comes from Emptoris, including cost
Tenders • Tender 1: - WR2300 HH waveguides, H-bends, E-bends, PSS flanges - 6-1/8 inch coax elbows - WR1150 waveguides, H-bends, E-bends, PSS flanges - Includes uncertainties in amplifier to circulator distance - Includes pads for cooling in stubs (not in scope) - arc detector ports, ceramic window • Tender 2: - WR2300 HH DDC, switches, bellows - 6-1/8 inch coax DDC - WR1150 DDC, switches, bellows
RFPs • Specifications • Design and (at least) monthly review meetings • Monthly progress reports • Programme of Factory Acceptance Tests - bit more clarity required • Site acceptance testing - to be confirmed • Regular site visits to monitor progress and witness test • Naming convention: Acc-RF cell number-location-waveguide run number-component number
RFPs • Delivery schedule: - one month before installation - number of deliveries corresponding to installation blocks
Award questions • Everything in RFP is implicitly agreed • Yes/no questions reduced to only a few to be explicitly agreed • Evaluation questions: - mostly pass/fail - not enough scored - scoring methodology must be included with the question - strong UKSBS preference for self-scoring
Conclusions • Tenders 1 and 2 almost ready to go • Next steps: - finalise Tender 2 questions - finalise Tender 2 RFP - finalise Tender 1 questions - finalise Tender 1 RFP • Get approval to proceed: - you - Project board - JG, STFC finance, …..
