Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is planning a tender titled "HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASMA - PEDESTAL ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT", which falls under the industry category of research and development services. This procurement process is currently at the planning stage and is expected to generate a total value of £200,000. The service will be delivered at the UKAEA's Culham Science Centre in Abingdon, UK. The future notice date is set for 27th August 2021, indicating when further information will be made available.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services and consultancy within the field of plasma boundary region development, particularly those with expertise in modelling and assessing advanced modes of operation for plasma environments. Firms engaged in fusion research, engineering consultancy, or similar scientific analysis would be well-suited to compete for this contract as they can contribute the necessary expertise to support UKAEA's objectives in developing sustainable plasma regimes.

Notice Title

HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASMA - PEDESTAL ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT

Notice Description

A high-performance plasma boundary region is key to the success of STEP. However, a confined plasma region with an edge transport barrier (ETB) close to the separatrix which, owing to the steep gradients, is typically generating type-I ELMs. Type-I ELMs will not be sustainable in a reactor relevant device with high pedestal pressures. Current high performance regimes have been developed that either have no ELMs or only small instabilities but so far no or only very limited predictive capability exists for these regimes. Development of no ELM regimes are of particular interest to the STEP team and are likely to be necessary to deliver the required STEP performance regimes. UKAEA are looking for expertise in pedestal development modelling for: Support in modelling and assessing QH-mode operation for STEP , Support in modelling RMP ELM suppression, Support in the development of suitable reduced models to capture the essence of no-ELM or small ELM regimes in an integrated way.
