The UK Atomic Energy Authority is procuring 3 kg of lithium metatitanate (Li₂TiO₃) pebbles for use in fusion experiments. This is a specialist materials supply requirement, classified as chemical products and energy-related products. Delivery is to be in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the UK Atomic Energy Authority, a central government public authority.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. The enquiry deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 16 November 2026 to 31 March 2027.
