Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is conducting a tender process titled "Hot Cells Design," focused on engineering design services. This procurement is part of a larger initiative to enhance the Materials Research Facility (MRF) at the Culham Science Centre in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The tender is currently active and is expected to conclude by 30 May 2022. The total value of the project is £500,000, and it is classified under services in the nuclear sector.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in engineering design, nuclear safety services, and plant engineering. Companies with expertise in advanced sample fabrication, mechanical testing equipment integration, and the provision of ventilation systems would be well-positioned to compete. The successful bidder will not only gain a design contract but may also access follow-up contracts for the build of the designed systems, thereby enabling continued growth and collaboration with a prominent public authority.

Lot 1

This RFP covers The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority ("the Authority's") requirement for UKAEA to issue a design contract for a hot cell extension at its Materials Research Facility (MRF) at its Culham site in Oxfordshire. This would cover the preliminary and detailed design of: * Two new hot cells (HC4 & HC5) as an extension of the existing hot cell line, each containing a mobile inner containment. * The integration of advanced sample fabrication equipment (Viteris VHMC03-UKAEA) and mechanical test equipment (walter+bai LFV-20 kN with climate chamber and furnaces from Severn Thermal Solutions, all supplied by DWE Scientific Limited) into the inner containments from HC4 and HC5 respectively. This would include the provision of all services (power, fluids, cooling, gases, hydraulics) necessary to operate the equipment * Two fully serviced docking stations in the active store for the mobile inner containments when not in the hot cells. * Provision of 'active' ventilation system to the new cells. In addition, upgrades to the existing ventilation systems on all cells to meet new UKAEA safety requirements. Upon completion of the design contract, UKAEA intend to issue an Invitation to Tender under the Open Procedure for the build of the designed system based upon the procured design.
