## Summary

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is seeking bids for the supply of Control & Instrumentation Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) as part of their ongoing project to enhance the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) vessel. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category and aims to deliver an additional 5MW of Neutral Beam heating power. The tender period has concluded, with submissions required by 21 December 2021. The awarded contract commenced on 26 January 2022 and is set to end on 31 March 2022. Suitable suppliers are expected to have expertise in industrial process control equipment, as the contract involves supplying, testing, and configuring PLC systems.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial process control and instrumentation to expand their operations. Companies that excel in the manufacture and supply of programmable logic controllers, with experience in delivering complex system integrations, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given that the buying organisation has identified suitability for such businesses, potentially allowing them to access larger projects through collaboration or subcontracting with established suppliers.
