This procurement is aimed at sourcing a WDS equipment package for the Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology Facility at UKAEA's Culham Campus. The tender, classified under the industry category "Measuring and control equipment" (CPV: 38424000), involves significant engineering, fabrication, and installation work, and will be deployed at the Culham site (OX14 3DB). The tender was published on 11 December 2024, with a deadline for submissions on 10 January 2025. The contract period is set to begin on 7 July 2025 and conclude on 6 July 2028, with an estimated project value of £4.2 million GBP. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering design, manufacturing, installation services, and commissioning, particularly those with experience in equipment packages for complex scientific or technical facilities. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement method follows a selective restricted procedure, ensuring fair chances for capable suppliers. Companies skilled in project and design preparation, instrumentation, mechanical and electrical installations, and integration testing are exceptionally well-suited to compete in this tender, providing a significant growth opportunity through collaboration with a leading authority in nuclear research and technology development. ## Notice The Supply of a WDS equipment package to be supplied into the Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology Facility at UKAEA's Culham Campus. The scope of work is expected to be delivered, installed, and commissioned within an estimated duration of 36 months. The scope of the Assemblies includes final process, mechanical and EC&I design, procurement, fabrication, assembly, Factory Acceptance Testing, delivery, and installation at the Culham site, plus Site Acceptance Testing and Integrated Testing. Design - A process design has been produced for the Water Detritiation System and the proposed equipment has been separated into 10 Assemblies as manageable deliverables. The 10 Assemblies consist of process equipment mostly installed within gloveboxes, and one air extracted cabinet. Manufacturing, FAT, Delivery, Installation, SAT, Integrated Testing & Commissioning - The 10 Assemblies require manufacture, assembly within containments and installation. This includes (but not limited to): installation of the equipment; agreeing and identifying tie-points for process service and electrical distribution interfaces; agreeing and identifying other process interfaces. The Contractor must undertake Factory Acceptance Testing. The commissioning of the fully integrated subsystems shall be carried out by the UKAEA Operations team with support from the Systems Integrator and The Contractor. During inactive commissioning all operations will be tested, and the plant performance assessed under a wide range of expected operating conditions. The Contractor shall provide, People Rates for assisting with commissioning. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f30a1a1d-d44c-4da1-93fb-fa9003e5ec76 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Jul 2025 - 6 Jul 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,200,000 | | 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 - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 42 - Industrial machinery - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09320000 - Steam, hot water and associated products - 09343000 - Radioactive materials - 31161400 - Primary water systems - 38340000 - Instruments for measuring quantities - 38420000 - Instruments for measuring flow, level and pressure of liquids and gases - 38424000 - Measuring and control equipment - 38570000 - Regulating and controlling instruments and apparatus - 38930000 - Humidity and moisture measuring instruments - 42120000 - Pumps and compressors - 42122100 - Pumps for liquids - 42131100 - Valves defined by function - 42131140 - Pressure-reducing, control, check or safety valves - 45255400 - Fabrication work - 45262670 - Metalworking - 45262680 - Welding - 45300000 - Building installation work - 51100000 - Installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment - 51110000 - Installation services of electrical equipment - 51120000 - Installation services of mechanical equipment - 51810000 - Installation services of tanks - 51820000 - Installation services of reservoirs - 71242000 - Project and design preparation, estimation of costs - 71320000 - Engineering design services - 71323200 - Plant engineering design services - 71335000 - Engineering studies - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services ## Release History - 11 Dec 2024 at 17:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f30a1a1d-d44c-4da1-93fb-fa9003e5ec76 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f30a1a1d-d44c-4da1-93fb-fa9003e5ec76 11th December 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=88129&B=UKAEA 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.
