The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is conducting a procurement process for the contract titled "Fabricated Assemblies" under the goods category, specifically focusing on structures and parts. This tender is at the award stage, and the contract was signed on 25 January 2022. It pertains to the manufacture, testing, inspection, and delivery of fabricated assemblies for the European Spallation Source located in Lund, Sweden. Key details include an open procurement method with a focus on technical quality, a budget that remains undisclosed to protect commercial interests, and a standstill period allowing for debriefing of unsuccessful bidders.
