Coverage: 53 active published awards; 45 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The objective of this work package is to develop a test rig design for testing prototype gyrotron cavities simulating the: • Internal thermal load and associated cooling efficiency • Pressure forces • Vacuum compatibility The test rig would include a thermal head that is inserted into prototype cavities to mimic the induced ohmic loads from the cavity electric field profile. The head could be designed for a specific gyrotron cavity, but the concept adaptable to cavities with diameters in the range of 30 to 50mm, and cavity length 20 to 30mm. Ideally, the thermal profile would be close to consistent with the E-field’s power deposition profile and capable of power densities exceeding 30MW/m2.

Ideally, the thermal profile would be close to consistent with the E-field’s power deposition profile and capable of power densities exceeding 30MW/m2. The test rig should include simplified interfaces for easy replacement of the cavity, while ensuring safe testing conditions. The estimated budget for this is between £80,000 and £100,000. This piece of work is required to be completed by March 2025, it is anticipated that this contract will be 8 months long.
