Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Nuclear Laboratory Limited is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the contract titled "Robotics: Smart path planning and collision avoidance." This initiative focuses on nuclear evaluation instruments and aims to explore technology solutions for smart path planning and collision avoidance in nuclearised robotic systems. Interested parties should note that the engagement end date is set for 29th February 2020, with expressions of interest to be uploaded via the designated project portal. The contract will involve delivery to the North West region of England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in robotics and technology development, to engage with a key player in the nuclear sector. Companies with innovative solutions related to industrial robotics or those with experience in other industries that can be applied to nuclear contexts are well-suited to compete. By responding to the capability survey, these businesses can showcase their technologies and potentially secure a role in future demonstrations and stages of the procurement process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Robotics: Smart path planning and collision avoidance

Notice Description

This exercise is a Request For Information (RFI) on Robotics: Smart path planning and collision avoidance Out-reach to all industries Although this market exploration survey concerns smart path planning and collision avoidance specific to nuclearized robotic systems, the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) on behalf of Sellafield Ltd is looking for solutions from across all industries - both inside and outside our nuclear community. NNL believes that technology may already exist that has been developed for the nuclear industry, or for other industries that could offer solutions to one, or all the requirements described in this survey. Responders to this survey do not require any prior knowledge of the nuclear sector. Purpose of the Capability Survey The objective of this package of work is to identify systems and solutions which are either available now or are in the latter stages of development (High Technology Readiness Level (TRL)) . NNL and Sellafield Ltd. would like to engage with suppliers who respond to the Capability Submission form via Expressions of Interest (EOI) in order to assess availability and functionality of the technology and begin to quantify potential benefits. This will then inform stages of the procurement activity and possible future active demonstration phases using the alpha or beta-gamma remote cutting facilities. Additional information: Responses are to be uploaded to https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/, project 11898 - NNLC109 - Robotics: Smart path planning and collision avoidance
