The European Spallation Source ERIC (called ESS), is a facility that services scientific community by providing neutrons for various experimental purposes. The facility requires various shielding to cater for a safe working environment. The Bunker’s Temporary Beamstops project carries the task of providing a standardised common design solution of an auxiliary shielding for instruments that will not have fully installed beamline for Beam on Target (BOT). The purpose of a beamstops is to reduce radiation level to safe levels in the experimental halls (D01 and D03 buildings) and guide hall (E02 building) to thus ensure a safe working environment. The scope of work of the service and supply of the Bunker’s Temporary Beamstops is to perform a production design, manufacturing, and delivery of concrete blocks, as per project’s schedule, see Table 1. Three scenarios with various quantity of blocks wanted are presented in this SoW. ESS reserves the right to modify quantity of needed blocks, what will be revaluated as per project’s schedule at a later stage.

ESS is requesting suppliers to submit tenders in order to conclude an agreement for the the FREIA Chopper Pit & Cave Shielding, a reinforced concrete structure, designed to shield against neutron and gamma radiation at the ESS in Lund, Sweden. Two constructions (the chopper pit, and cave) are required to both restrict access and to lower radiation levels at the ESS site. For a multitude of reasons, including, cost, activation and neutron background, concrete with a surface layer doped with boron, will be employed as the primary shielding medium. Additional gamma shielding made from steel that is not included within the scope of delivery, will then be added to the cave, so the structure must be designed to handle this additional weight. Both structures supported on a cast-in-place plinth to reduce the loading on the hall floor. They are designed access points and service penetrations. The project consists of the following: Products: Chopper pit reinforced concrete, including a cast-in-place plinth, and pre-cast concrete walls and roof slabs Cave structure reinforced concrete, including a cast-in-place plinth, and pre-cast concrete walls and roof slabs Cave access door, manually operated and primarily made from steel Raised internal and external flooring platform Service chicanes at both floor and roof level Option: Internal 1T fully motorized crane Services Design Drawings and calculations: detailed structural design based on the conceptual design provided. Project management: schedule, Preliminary meeting, milestones, Kick-off meeting, design review, FAT, SAT Delivery to ESS site Construction, installation and painting at ESS.

ESS is going to publish an open call for tender for the provision of a number of telephony services divided into two lots. ESS aims to implement and renew the following services: • Lot 1 - Mobile telephony services • Lot 2 - On-premises VoIP/IP telephony services

ESS intends to conclude a contract for both a comprehensive Human Resource Management (HRM) system and a Time Reporting system. Suppliers are encouraged to submit proposals for either system separately or for both systems collectively. Your response can address the individual needs of each system or propose an integrated solution covering both HRM and Time Reporting functionalities. The scope includes but is not limited to system/s that offers functionalities for: • Time Reporting o Advanced time tracking, scheduling, and attendance management, capable of seamless integration with industry-leading payroll systems and HRM • HRM supporting the following processes: o Recruitment o Onboarding o Employee Records Management o Benefit Administration o Salary Review Management o Performance Management o Employee Recognition and Rewards o Succession Planning o Staff Planning o Offboarding and Exit Management o Employee Surveys and Feedback o Document Management The procurement will be carried out as a competative procedure with negotiations.

Supply of data center routers and switches, office edge switches and wireless access points for the the ESS campus buildings and target buildings.
