## Summary

The public procurement process involves the Health & Safety Executive as the buying organisation, seeking technical support for an independent confirmatory analysis of the UK ABWR design basis reactor faults. The tender, titled "Provision of Technical Support to Perform Independent Confirmatory Analysis of UK ABWR Design Basis Reactor Faults," falls under the research and development services and related consultancy services category. It is based in Bootle, England. The procurement, which follows a selective method under a restricted procedure, is currently in the Award stage, having been completed with an awarded contract valued at £816,000. The contract period is set to run from 1 March 2016 to 31 March 2017, and the deadline for tender submissions was 15 January 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research, development, and consultancy, particularly those focusing on safety analysis in the nuclear sector. Companies with expertise in risk assessment, statistical modelling, and fault analysis would be well-suited to engage in such processes. The Health & Safety Executive is looking for suppliers who can demonstrate a robust understanding of reactor faults and safety protocols, making this a valuable contracting opportunity for organisations aiming to expand their footprint in the UK nuclear industry.

## Notice

This piece of work is for the UK ABWR ATHLET model (and supporting codes) developed during Steps 2 and 3 to be adapted and run to consider a range of carefully selected faults. These will inform ONR's fault studies (design basis analysis) and probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) Step 4 assessments.
