This project falls within the engineering services sector and is based in Abingdon, England. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 11th July 2019. The project aims to develop solutions for processing and recycling waste materials generated during the nuclear operation of a STEP device, building on previous research from EUROfusion studies. The procurement method utilised for this contract is an open procedure. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering services, waste management, and research and development, particularly those with a background in nuclear technology and environmental solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project may provide avenues for innovation and collaboration within the technical and engineering sectors. Businesses capable of delivering expertise in waste disposal, recycling strategies, and decommissioning planning would be well-positioned to compete for this contract and contribute to the future developments in fusion energy. ## Notice UKAEA wishes to initiate a contract to explore the processing, disposal and recycling solutions for waste materials that are likely to be generated during the nuclear operation of a STEP device. This will build upon the research-based waste assessment studies already performed by UKAEA as part of EUROfusion demonstration fusion power plant ('DEMO') studies but with a more engineering and technological focus. The project is aimed at guiding future STEP R&D, for example to indicate if the current "low-activation" constraints can be relaxed or if further mitigation steps are required in the design of STEP. The decommissioning plans for STEP should become part of the design phase and this contract will aim to deliver a prototype plan for a fusion device. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50b6f7d2-bab6-4300-a273-b60253ab80b0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 11 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jul 2019 - 13 Jul 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71335000 - Engineering studies - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90520000 - Radioactive-, toxic-, medical- and hazardous waste services ## Release History - 6 Jun 2019 at 11:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50b6f7d2-bab6-4300-a273-b60253ab80b0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50b6f7d2-bab6-4300-a273-b60253ab80b0 6th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=28752&B=OGC Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
