Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has recently awarded a contract for the ITER Generic Upper Port Plug Tower System. The procurement process was completed under a limited procedure without prior publication. This contract involves the addition of trials to the original advertised contract, focusing on industrial machinery. The implementation of this contract involves collaboration between the Authority and the supplier, Asturfeito SA, based in Spain. The contract is currently in the active stage, with a value of 189,300.00 EUR, signed on 24th April 2024.

This contract award provides an opportunity for businesses within the industrial machinery sector, particularly those specialising in lifting and handling equipment, to engage in collaborative projects with the UK Atomic Energy Authority. Suppliers with technical capabilities in handling equipment and machinery parts are well-suited to compete in this tender. The addition of trials to the Tower System contract offers potential growth avenues for SMEs with expertise in industrial machinery assembly and testing. Businesses interested in collaborating on the ITER project should consider the specific technical requirements outlined in the awarded contract.

Notice Description

Generic Upper Port Plug Tower System - Addition of Trail to original contract

Lot Information

Lot 1

The UK Atomic Energy Authority will work with the Supplier in assembling and trailing the ITER Generic Upper Port Plug Tower System and Modules which have already been manufactured under the original advertised contract. The trails here are additional work and are due to take place at the suppliers premises due to space limitations at the Authority's site. The project looks to mock up an important RH process for ITER based on the Generic Upper Port Plug maintenance and will seek to further expand the operational suitability of the hardware. This will be attained by assessing the possibility of using a minimum amount of metrology, or alternative measurement activity, to achieve an insertion of the DSM and DFWs within the port plug mock up. The trials are based on the expected information available in the hot cell which rely on a limited amount of physical data.

Procurement Information

The Supplier was awarded a contract in 2022 for the Manufacture, Assembly, Testing and Supply of ITER Generic Upper Port Plug Tower System. This requirement adds work for the goods, still within the Suppliers factory, to be trailed by the Authority's staff. A change of supplier would cause additional costs in shipping the goods elsewhere, cause delays to the project and would be impracticable. Due to the experience and complexity of the requirements it would be difficult to uncouple this work and tender competitively. The addition of this work to the contract has been authorised by UKAEA's Head of Procurement.
