Short description:
The ISIS pulsed neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire, UK is a world-leading centre for research in the physical and life sciences. It is owned and operated by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) for UK Research and Innovation.

This tender is for the design, manufacture and supply of a cryogenic, vacuum-insulated-transfer line (approx. 14 m total length), which is suitable to supply liquid methane at 110 K.

The transfer line is to be installed into existing infrastructure and is a replacement for an existing transfer line, which has been functioning successfully for over 30 years. Because of the existing infrastructure space and access constraints, we believe there are limited possible solutions in the new transfer line design. Please refer to the full specification and suite of tender documentation for details of the entire requirement.
