This process, currently in the planning stage, is classified under the nuclear fuels industry and is part of the Game Changers programme. The important date to note is the engagement end date, which is set for 12th November 2021. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in an online workshop on 18th October 2021, where detailed challenge requirements will be outlined. The procurement method invites technology providers to submit applications via the Game Changers website. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in advanced technologies, particularly those with expertise in heat exchanger design and energy management systems. Companies that are well-suited to compete include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions in the nuclear technology sector. Engaging with the Game Changers programme could lead to potential future procurement exercises, and the insights gathered may allow these organisations to better align their offerings with government needs. It is an advantageous moment for tech firms focused on sustainability and energy efficiency to explore collaboration in this niche sector. ## Notice conversion systems for advanced nuclear technologies This PIN is to inform the supply chain that Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) are seeking novel heat exchangers, energy management and conversion systems for advanced nuclear technologies. This challenge will be administered though the Game Changers programme and advertised on their website during October and November 2021. A challenge statement published on the website will provide a detailed overview of the challenge requirements along with any constraints and restrictions. An online workshop will be held on the 18th October 2021 where BEIS and NNL will further describe the challenge. Details of the workshop will be shared on the Game Changers website. Interested technology providers should complete and submit a Game Changers application via the Game Changers website www.gamechangers.technology. The challenge is open to any organisation who feel they can meet the requirements. The closing date for applications will be 12th November 2021. Interested organisations should note that the issue of this PIN may not result in a full procurement exercise being conducted. The outcome of the Game Changers challenge will determine whether a full procurement exercise will follow. We would therefore encourage any organisation which has the capability, knowledge and experience in the prevention and/or minimising leaks to respond to this PIN and visit the Game Changers (https://www.gamechangers.technology/) website for further information on the Game Changers challenge. If BEIS and NNL progress to a future procurement opportunity for technologies applicable to novel heat exchangers, energy management and conversion systems for advanced nuclear technologies, the learning gathered from the Game Changers technology study may be shared with all potential suppliers, noting that commercially sensitive information will not be included.
