UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Atomic Energy Authority is seeking market input on an integrated information management and digital thread platform called LIBRTI. The intended capability would use data held in UKAEA’s Data Lakehouse and maintain relationships with information held in other authoritative UKAEA systems. The requirement covers database and operating software, document management software, database systems, electronic data management, data acquisition, operating systems, clustering software and real-time operating systems. This is a technology supply requirement rather than construction or consultancy work. The buyer is UKAEA, based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, and the platform is intended to support its information management environment.

This procurement is at the planning stage and currently concerns preliminary market engagement, not an invitation to tender. UKAEA has scheduled engagement activity to complete by 2 October 2026 and expects a subsequent notice on 16 November 2026. The planned contract period is 29 January to 20 December 2027. The procurement is above the applicable threshold, uses one lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded estimated value is £0 including VAT, in GBP. The procurement is classified as goods, but the available information does not set out an expected procurement method, award criteria or bid submission arrangements. Businesses should treat the dates as UKAEA’s indicative timetable.

The requirement should suit suppliers of enterprise information management, database and software platforms, particularly those able to connect a Data Lakehouse with other authoritative systems and preserve relationships between information sources. Relevant expertise includes document management, electronic data management, data acquisition, operating systems, clustering and real-time operating environments. Suppliers with experience designing or implementing integrated information architectures and maintaining links across complex technical estates are likely to be well placed to contribute. The stated SME suitability may support participation by specialist technology companies, including those able to provide a focused platform or partner with complementary providers. At this stage, businesses should use the planned engagement to explain their platform capabilities, integration approach and experience with comparable information environments.
