    Brief

    UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is conducting market engagement for an upcoming procurement contract to transport specialist scientific equipment internationally. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) requires the transportation of Anode Plane Assemblies (APAs)—complex detector components built in the UK at STFC Daresbury Laboratory and tested at CERN—to Fermilab in Illinois, USA, and eventually to the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. Each APA is a large stainless-steel frame with prestressed copper-beryllium wires and must be transported in pairs within specialized Anode Plane Shipping Frame (ASF) Assemblies that include shock-absorbing wire rope equipment to protect these fragile detectors from damage. The contract is structured on a call-off basis with an anticipated 68 shipments over 4 years, though the total spend level is not guaranteed. Interested suppliers should complete the provided market engagement questionnaire to indicate their capability and interest in this specialized international logistics opportunity.
