Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is seeking to procure a cost modelling software solution as part of the "Cost Modelling STEP" initiative. This procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically financial analysis software packages, and is based in Culham, Oxfordshire. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract having been finalised on 3rd August 2021, for a maximum duration of five years, involving an initial value of £99,000. The project anticipates the possibility of scaling up the number of software licences from an initial four during the contract's lifespan, which encompasses both platform support and training.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development and deployment, particularly those focused on financial analysis and accounting solutions. Companies offering scalable software solutions and capable of providing training and platform support would be highly suited to engage in this market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those with capabilities in analytical software and experience within the energy sector, are particularly encouraged to consider submitting bids, given the competitive landscape highlighted by six bids already received.

Notice Title

Cost Modelling STEP

Notice Description

The UKAEA cost Management Team requires a cost modelling software solution, associated platform support and training. The team requires an initial 4 licences but may increase this number during the life of the contract. The contract will be in place for a maximum of five years 3+1+1 = 5 years

Lot Information

Lot 1

The UKAEA cost management team currently consists of 4 cost engineers. The function is responsible for costing the STEP prototype and commercial fusion reactors. Costing to date has been at top-down level and the aim is to transition to detailed bottom-up costing on sub-systems where the design reaches sufficient level of maturity. Therefore, in the next 2 years, the fusion reactor costing will consist of both top-down and bottom-up costing. Also, on suitable sub-systems and components, value engineering activities are planned. A bespoke in-house solution is being used for the top-down model and a commercial external solution is being sought for the next steps of cost modelling that need to scale from the existing top-down to a full bottom-up cost model of the STEP prototype reactor as well as extrapolate to commercial fusion reactors. Additional information: The solution must have flexibility to increase the number of users throughout the life of the contract.

Options: 3+1+1 = 5 years

Renewal: 3+1=1= 5 Years
