STFC is responsible for the delivery of the “SWIMMR Project S1: Improved in-situ radiation measurements for space and aviation” project via a combination of support from STFC (high-level technical overview, science, PA/QA, project management), contractors, and guidance from the SWIMMR stakeholders, such as the Met Office.

This procurement is concerned with a wide-range and yet very specific technical skills delivered via a single point of contact. The SWIMMR programme funds are ‘in-year’ funds hence the tender timeline and the milestones are of critical importance. The bidder would need to demonstrate that the tasks would carried out as specified with respect to task scope, timeline and budget. The Aviation and Trusted Strands (the latter also includes the IMF facility) are interlinked; there are existing milestones to adhere. Please see the full suite of documents held within the eSourcing Portal for the specification and bidding process.
