UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is seeking an alpha-phase digital hazard management tool for LIBRTI. It must bring hazard and mitigation information together in a structured, traceable and concise view, covering supporting evidence, how mature each mitigation is and residual risk. The tool is intended to support safety decisions, design development and engagement with senior stakeholders. This is a software development service, including compliance software development. The buying organisation is the UK Atomic Energy Authority, a central government authority based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire. The procurement data does not identify a delivery location, so the work should not be assumed to take place at the Authority’s base.

The process reached the tender stage: the Authority invited offers through an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 10 November 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for enquiries was the same. The contract period was set to run from 30 November 2026 to 15 January 2027. The estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The requirement is arranged as one lot, with no further division of the work. Offers are evaluated on quality, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%. Electronic submission is allowed. The procurement is below the relevant threshold.

This requirement is suited to software developers able to deliver an alpha-phase digital tool for managing safety hazard information, with particular relevance to compliance software specialists. Suppliers need to be capable of structuring and linking hazards, mitigations and supporting evidence, while presenting mitigation maturity and residual risk in a clear, traceable form. Experience designing tools that support safety decision-making, design development and communication with senior stakeholders would align closely with the stated purpose. The quality-led evaluation means the proposed solution and its ability to meet the functional need carry more weight than price, though price remains part of the assessment. The single-lot scope may suit a supplier able to provide the integrated tool as one delivery. SMEs are identified as suitable to compete. No specific accreditation, staffing level or prior project threshold is set out in the stated requirements.
