Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is conducting an open procurement process for the project titled "STEP WP1 - Engineering Design Information Management (EDIM) Review & Report". This initiative aims to modernise engineering information management strategies to support the STEP project, which explores the feasibility of a nuclear fusion power plant. The tender period concluded on 22nd November 2019, with a contract time-frame starting from 9th December 2019 and expected to end on 20th March 2020. The total contract value is capped at £140,000, and the project falls under the electricity and nuclear energy sector. The delivery addresses for this project are based in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering design services, document management, research and development, and digital innovation, particularly those focusing on BIM and digital twinning technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as ensuring a diverse consortium is a key consideration for UKAEA. Successful bidders may enhance their profiles by contributing to cutting-edge projects in the fusion energy sector, potentially leading to long-term collaborations and growth within the industry.

Notice Title

STEP WP1 - Engineering Design Information Management (EDIM) Review & Report

Notice Description

The Client (UKAEA) seeks to modernise and provide innovation for its Engineering Information Management Strategy for the next decade. This work will be used to inform and influence the STEP project. STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) is the UK's study into the feasibility of building a power producing plant using nuclear fusion. The successful Consultant(s) will be selected by the Client to be members of a consortium that produces technological roadmaps that define key engineering technology areas that should be exploited on a 5-10 year timeframe. It should be noted that the Client is limited to an aggregated contract value of PS140,000 and where possible it will be in the interest of the Client to select a balance of representations for the consortium. Engineering information is loosely defined as: Information generated post concept design as a result of design progressing and maturing. This information required is analogous to the information generated using a BIM approach. Using BIM as a starting point the Client wishes to roadmap to future breakthrough use-age cases for both BIM and digital twinning. This work has a key interface with the Digital Engineering Strategy issued to market previously (T-VT066-19 - STEP WP1 - Production of Roadmap). As a starting point, the Client has posed the following questions: What might a breakthrough use case of BIM/IM look like for STEP? What might a breakthrough use case of digital twinning look for STEP? The output of this work will be used to inform: The STEP project and will influence the Digital Engineering Strategy. The wider engineering endeavours of UKAEA in supporting fusion development.
