Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is planning a tender for the supply of sensors for a Displacement Measurement System. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category and aims to identify market capability for compact displacement sensors within a range of 0 – 5 mm for an indoor work hall at UKAEA. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the future notice date set for April 29, 2024. The tender is seeking to engage businesses that can provide electric sensors, measuring instruments, and pressure-measuring equipment for delivery to Culham Campus in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in sensor technology, measuring instruments, and related equipment to supply sensors for a specific displacement measurement application. Companies capable of providing high-precision sensors suitable for measuring distance between ferrous metal plates within tight tolerances in an indoor industrial environment may find this tender particularly relevant. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, as the buying organisation, is looking to engage suppliers who can meet the technical requirements and deliver to the specified location within the given timeline.

Notice Title

Supply of Sensors for a Displacement Measurement System

Notice Description

This PIN seeks to identify the current market capability for compact displacement sensors capable of sensing within a 0 - 5 mm range to an accuracy of 1 um for a Displacement Measurement System, the associated costs and lead times. An array of these sensors is required for measuring the distance between stationary and moving ferrous metal plates with a nominal distance of 2 mm. The outputs of these sensors must be viewable live and any associated data can be logged. The protocol for communication is open to availability. This array will consist of 8 sensors per tracked plate, hence will need a total of 32 sensors. This number can be discussed depending on availability on chaining sensor outputs. This system will be used during a planned programme of work conducted in a work hall at UKAEA. This is an indoor work hall, with associated environmental conditions. No radiation or nuclear considerations are relevant to these components.
