UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is inviting tenders for the "Fusion APPG Support" project, focused on providing business and management consultancy services in Oxfordshire. This open procurement process, valued at £210,000 gross, falls under the services category and is classified according to the CPV code of 79400000. Potential suppliers should note the tender period deadline, which closes on 31st July 2026, with an enquiry period ending on 10th July 2026. The procurement is conducted under the legal framework of the UK Public Procurement Act 2023/54, and submissions can be made electronically via the provided URL.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services to grow within the niche market of fusion energy projects. Suitability criteria indicate a preference for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), suggesting a competitive edge for smaller consultancy firms looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. The contract includes the possibility of two one-year extensions, potentially extending business opportunities until August 2029, thus offering long-term growth and stability for successful suppliers. Businesses with experience in sub-central government operations and an interest in contributing to the UK’s energy research initiatives may find this tender particularly beneficial.
