Procurements

Lot #1 Software design, development and test services Software development, design, test, maintenance and user support of control system components. Competence requirements include Java (SE/EE), C, C++, Python, Databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL or similar open database projects), GUI/Web, Software architecture and Test driven methodology. One example of a current ongoing project is the Cable Database which is a web-based application that will support the tracking, configuration and labelling of thousands of cables in all phases of the ESS project. The Cable Database is an integrated control system application. Lot #2 Control system software development and training services Software development, test, maintenance and user support of control system open source software components. Competence requirements include experience from working with relevant control system open source software components such as EPICS, Control System Studio Phoebus, Open XAL. ESS is participating in the development of the open source community control system software frameworks. One example is ESS’ contribution to EPICS7/pvAccess, further extending the functionality which is a vital part of this next generation of EPICS. Lot #3 Software project administration and technical documentation services The ESS working setup is quite complex, and increasingly so, with the involvement of many different stakeholders and partners. ESS foresees the need for additional resources to support with project administration and technical documentation services as ESS does not, nor plan to, have the capacity in-house, as the need is not a long term, permanent need. Therefore it is expected that ESS will from time to time require support from experienced resources working with complex multifaceted projects.

Service and supply agreement for liquid and gaseous nitrogen to support operations at ESS facility in Lund, Sweden. This contract concerns the procurement of liquid nitrogen to be used in both liquid and gaseous form, the lease of supplier provided bulk liquid nitrogen vessels, ambient air vaporizers, and associated piping to connect to a ESS nitrogen distribution system.

Service Agreement for waste mangement at ESS Site from 2021-07-01 for 5 years. Relatively large amounts of waste will need to be handled within ESS. In addition to waste generated during normal operations, the installation work that will take place over a number of years will also generate large amounts of waste. The purpose of this procurement is to award a service agreement with one contractor for the performance of a waste management program. No handling of radioactive waste is covered by this procurement.

The product is the Heimdal Cave, a reinforced concrete structure, designed to shield against neutron and gamma radiation at the ESS in Lund, Sweden. A construction (the cave) is required around the sample position in order to both restrict access and to lower radiation levels at the ESS site. For a multitude of reasons, including magnetism, cost, activation and neutron background, concrete will be employed as the primary shielding medium. Additional gamma shielding, nominally steel, will then be used to line the roof hatch due to shielding “weaknesses” in the concrete at this point. The cave structure is designed access points and service penetrations. The project consists of the following: Products: (1) Cave structure, reinforced concrete, walls and roof slabs, sliding hatch (section 3) (2) Beam Stop, steel core inside concrete (section 3.7) (3) Person access points, one floor level and one sliding roof access (section 3.5, 3.8) Note: sliding mechanism for roof slap not part of this tender. (4) Service chicanes: Floor chicanes, Roof Chicanes, Hatch chicane (section 3.6, 3.10) Services: (7) Design Drawings: conceptual and detailed design (8) Project management: schedule, Preliminary meeting, milestones, Kick-off meeting, design review, FAT,SAT (section) (9) Delivery to ESS site (10) Construction and Installation and painting at ESS.

ESS, European Spallation Source, intends to procure Cleaning Services for ESS’ facilities in Lund. The site consists of several different buildings with varying activities such as offices, laboratories and machine halls. The total area today is approximately 21’000 sqm. As construction still is on-going the area will increase gradually as buildings are completed. The service delivery must include daily cleaning of the premises mentioned above as well as periodic cleaning and maintenance such as window cleaning, deep cleaning, floor care, textile- and furniture care. There will also be a need for specific cleaning efforts, for example machine scrubbing of floor in a machine hall between replacements of installations. ESS is looking for a future partner who wants to join our journey towards a way of working that is based on well-thought-out, daily efforts with great flexibility that gives the result ESS expects: a workplace that always gives a clean and tidy impression and that supports our quest to be the best place to work - "the place to be"

ESS is required to investigate, carry out and follow up activities in such a way that ill health and accidents at work are prevented and a satisfactory working environment is achieved. One of the hazards identified for those working in certain areas on site is that of low oxygen. A number of measures have been identified to reduce the risk of exposure to reduced oxygen levels. One of these measures is the provision of personal gas monitors. ESS’s Environmental Safety & Health Division is managing the service to provide these monitors to those who need them. The scope of the tender is to establish a framework agreement with a single supplier for the provision of portable gas monitors to be worn by personnel whilst they carry out their activities onsite. OHS will evaluate the tender on not only monitor types that can measure the presence or absence of a single gas but also monitors that can measure for multiple gases simultaneously. The types of monitors to be included in this framework agreement are as follows; · Oxygen monitors, specifically monitors to alert the wearer that they are in an environment with depleted oxygen, Oxygen Deficiency Hazard (ODH) monitors. · Hydrogen Sulphide (H₂S) monitors to alert the wearer that they are in an environment with H₂S. · Hydrogen (H) monitors to alert the wearer that they are in an environment with Hydrogen. · Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitors to alert the wearer that they are in an environment with elevated Carbon Monoxide. As ESS becomes fully operational, it looks to procure a large stock of monitors. They will be kept in continual use, with a certain number being recalled for calibration, by ESS, at a frequency defined by The Supplier. ESS will also keep a number of monitors as contingency in stock as spares.

The scope of the delivery is the NBPI Water cooling system 1026 for the cooling of the Neutron Beam Port Inserts as well as the NBOA Helium Supply system 1028 for the helium supply of the Optic Assemblies within the Neutron Beam Port Inserts. The full project delivery is of 2 main feed lines, 42 riser lines including media connector and 16 instrumented panels

Supply of data center routers and switches, office edge switches and wireless access points for the the ESS campus buildings and target buildings. The equipment will be needed before the end of the year 2020.
