This procurement falls under the industrial machinery industry category and is located in the South East of England. The tender is an open procurement method, currently in the Tender stage, with submissions closing on 10 December 2021. The total contract value is approximately £270,000, and the contract period is set to commence on 11 December 2021 and conclude on 12 December 2021. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering design services, industrial machinery, and related scientific and technical services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as this project aligns with their capabilities in delivering innovative solutions for complex engineering challenges. Suppliers with expertise in cryogenic technologies, superconducting systems, and engineering-related services would find this procurement especially relevant for business growth. ## Notice The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is differentiated from other fusion tokamaks by the intent to utilise re-mountable joints for its magnet coils to facilitate ease of maintenance and commercial viability. This requirement is to provide a cryogenic test environment that is a representative of the expected operating environment of STEP and to enable UKAEA to test and develop re-mountable joints, in addition to other components. UKAEA wishes to appoint a Supplier for the Design, build, supply and installation of Cryostat with Superconducting Magnet, Test Sample current Leads and Variable Temperature Insert This includes: * Cryostat, * Integrated superconducting magnet its cryogenic current leads, * dedicated power supply for magnet, * The Unit Under Test (UUT) cryogenic current leads and a VTI This is fully detailed in Appendix 1 - Scope ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cc6e590-0073-43e3-857a-3f398ac431fc | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Dec 2021 - 12 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £270,000 | | 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 | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 42 - Industrial machinery - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 31630000 - Magnets - 42000000 - Industrial machinery - 44610000 - Tanks, reservoirs, containers and pressure vessels - 44615000 - Pressure vessels - 44615100 - Steel pressure vessels - 71320000 - Engineering design services - 71323000 - Engineering-design services for industrial process and production - 71323200 - Plant engineering design services - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services ## Release History - 11 Nov 2021 at 13:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cc6e590-0073-43e3-857a-3f398ac431fc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cc6e590-0073-43e3-857a-3f398ac431fc 11th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=40484&B=UK 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.
