Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the "STEP WP5 - Fusion Power Plant - Breeder Blanket Design Challenge," initiated by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). This project aims to develop conceptual designs for critical systems within fusion power plants, specifically the breeder blankets. The tender was completed with an open procurement method, and proposals were due by 1 November 2019. The contract was awarded on 22 November 2019, with a contract period commencing on 25 November 2019 and concluding on 28 February 2020. The project falls under the industry category of radioactive materials and will primarily take place in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the engineering and consultancy sectors, particularly those with expertise in thermal and structural design for fusion technology. Companies specialising in industrial process control, engineering studies, and design consultancy services would be especially well-suited to compete. The focus on advanced design requirements indicates the potential for innovative solutions, making this an attractive prospect for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) eager to engage in cutting-edge energy solutions.

Notice Title

STEP WP5 - Fusion Power Plant - Breeder Blanket Design Challenge

Notice Description

UKAEA wants to identify and partner with Consultant(s) to develop conceptual designs for the breeder blankets of a fusion power plant. Identified Consultant(s) would develop conceptual designs for fusion Breeder Blankets, which are critical systems for future fusion power plants. This system plays an important role in the fuel and thermal cycles of fusion power plants. Breeder Blankets generate fusion fuel and useful heat, which is transferred to the circulated coolant. In many cases this is pressurised and places large loads onto the Breeder Blanket structure. Consultant(s) are requested to submit proposals that address structural and thermal design challenges, applying their expertise to either improve performance, manufacturability and/or Technology Readiness
