## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is conducting an open tender for a project titled "STEP WP5 - Lead-Lithium Flow Loop Concept Study". This procurement aims to enhance understanding of fluid properties and flow behaviour under representative blanket conditions in the UK. The project falls under the services category, specifically focused on radioactive materials, with a deadline for submissions set for 5th December 2019. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 20th December 2019 and conclude on 27th March 2020. The delivery address is located in the South East of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering services, industrial process control, and research and development. Companies that specialise in conducting feasibility studies, providing technical assistance, or manufacturing related equipment such as flowmeters and pressure gauges would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement can facilitate growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolios in the nuclear or engineering sectors.

## Notice

To develop further understanding in the United Kingdom and within UKAEA, we are aiming to award a Concept Study contract for a Lead-Lithium flow loop which can investigate fluid properties and flow behaviour in representative blanket conditions.
