Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is undertaking a planned procurement for the project titled "Circular Saw and Diamond Wire Cutting Trials – RACE/UKAEA," which falls under the category of research and development services. This initiative is part of the UKAEA's exploration of remote cold cutting technologies for nuclear decommissioning, with specific focus on diamond wire saw and circular saw technologies. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 1 September 2022. Operations will be conducted in Abingdon, UK, as part of a project that aims to engage suppliers capable of providing the necessary equipment and trial facilities.

This procurement presents excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those with expertise in cutting technologies and decommissioning services. Companies that can provide Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) equipment and consultancy in trial design and execution will be particularly well-suited for this tender. The focus on innovative cutting methods marks a significant avenue for growth within the nuclear decommissioning sector, encouraging engagement from suppliers who can meet project timelines and technical requirements.

UKAEA is researching remote cold cutting nuclear decommissioning size reduction technologies and has performed diamond wire saw (DWS) cutting trials on a specific, composite material component. UKAEA wants to gain additional information on the use of DWS technology, but also to investigate a second cold cutting technology - a circular saw (CS). UKAEA will provide targets to be cut using Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) DWS and CS machines. The key points are: * The Contractor is to advise on the design (equipment, parameters) of the cutting trials * The Contractor is to provide all equipment and the facility for the trial * The Contractor is to conduct cutting trials and monitor various parameters (e.g., temperature) * The Contractor is to report on the trial and advise on Client's final cutting system design * Cutting Targets (Targets) will be defined by UKAEA Through this process we are looking to open up engagement with suppliers to ensure there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements.
