Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is planning a procurement process for "H3AT – Pressure Vessels," targeting the goods sector, specifically within the category of tanks, reservoirs, containers, and pressure vessels. The procurement is aimed at acquiring approximately twenty-six pressure vessels used in the Tritium Plant located at the H3AT Facility in Culham, which is currently under construction. Key dates include a planned future notice date of 31 March 2022, and the procurement will involve design analysis, manufacture, testing, and delivery to the Culham site.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), pressure vessel designers, and manufacturers. Companies with expertise in fabrication, engineering design, testing, and related services for pressure vessels will be well-positioned to compete. The scope of this procurement may expand following the preliminary and detailed engineering design phases, allowing for further engagement from a diverse range of skilled contractors in the engineering and fabrication sectors.
