Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the design, build, and installation of a Virtual Control Room for its new Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology (H3AT) Facility, located at Culham Campus, Abingdon, UKJ14. This tender, classified under the industry category of "Computer control system" (CPV: 48151000), focuses on procuring goods to simulate the behaviour of a tritium processing plant to train operators and engineers. Key elements of the procurement include AVEVA Process Simulation software, Siemens PCS7/S7 for control and safety systems, hardware, software, licences, and requisite furniture. A future notice for this planned procurement is expected to be issued around the 29th of November, 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial control systems, simulation software, and related hardware installations. Companies with expertise in providing integrated solutions for process control and safety systems, particularly those experienced with Siemens and AVEVA products, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The scope covers not only the design and implementation but also necessitates the provision of comprehensive training tools, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the fusion research and advanced technology sectors.

Notice Title

Tritium Plant Virtual Control Room

Notice Description

UKAEA is currently designing a new tritium processing plant, referred to as the Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology (H3AT) Facility. The H3AT Facility will be located on the UKAEA Culham site in the existing H3AT building. A virtual control room for the H3AT facility is required to train operators, engineers and users on the operation of the facility, by providing the capability to simulate the behaviour of the tritium processing plant. It is envisaged that this will be similar to the operator training simulators used elsewhere in industrial processing plants. The design for the H3AT facility is based on process models developed using AVEVA Process Simulation software. The process control and safety systems for the H3AT facility consists of the following three systems: * H3AT Integrated Control System * H3AT Integrated Interlock System * H3AT Integrated Safety System

The supplier is expected to provide a fully integrated solution incorporating both Siemens PCS7/S7 for the control and safety system and AVEVA Process Simulation software for the process modelling. Initial requirements for the process control and safety system include the requisite hardware for a Siemens PCS7 control system, and S7 control and safety PLC's. Four workstations are required to be used as both operator and engineering workstations, with two or three monitors per workstation.
