## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is initiating a selective tender process for the supply, installation, and commissioning of up to three robotic manipulator arms at the RACE Facility in the UK. The tender was published on 26th November 2020, with a submission deadline set for 4th January 2021. The contract period is expected to commence on 18th March 2021 and conclude by 28th February 2022. This procurement falls within the goods category, specifically focusing on control panels and industrial robots, among other classifications.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced robotics and mechanical engineering services, particularly those with expertise in devices suitable for harsh environments, including high radiation and contamination scenarios. Companies that can demonstrate their capability in developing haptic dextrous manipulators and related systems will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging in this tender can help businesses expand their portfolio and establish connections within the cutting-edge technology sector.

## Notice

UKAEA wishes to procure, on behalf of RACE, up to three haptic dextrous manipulators, complete with Electrical and Controls Systems, to deliver key aspects of a research & training programme. The scope includes supply, installation, commissioning of the manipulators at a Facility in the UK and training of operators. Whilst the manipulators that are the subject of this procurement are not intended for deployment in nuclear environments, it is essential that devices offered are suited to such an environment to ensure the validity of the research & training programme. Therefore the manipulators must be representative of devices that may be deployed in high radiation and contamination environments.
