This procurement process falls under the goods category and is currently at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 9 April 2021. The contract period will commence on 10 April 2021 and will run until 11 April 2021. The project is based in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with a minimum contract value of £35,000 and a maximum value of £55,000. The tender is being conducted via an open procedure. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those focused on scanner software, CAD integration, and image processing applications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with expertise in handling 3D point cloud data and enhancing engineering design methodologies. This tender could attract businesses with innovative solutions that can streamline the fusion test devices' planning and modification processes. ## Notice UKAEA owns, builds and operates several fusion test devices. These are often highly complex machines which rely on lots of supporting plant systems. Even though we maintain an extensive library of 3D design models, these can often not be relied upon when planning engineering modifications or new installations. This is primarily because not all plant is modelled in 3D. Even the models that do exist cannot always be relied upon to be completely accurate. We currently rely on site surveys with cameras and manual methods such as tape measures when planning modifications. UKAEA is looking to improve on this cumbersome and error-prone methodology by exploiting 3D laser scanners, which we already own. The scanners themselves output point clouds which do not allow for easy integration with our CAD software. It is in the integration that we are looking to extend our capability. Requirements We're looking to obtain the capability to extract 'As-Built' geometry features from 3D point cloud scans for the purpose of 'context capture' and 'reverse engineering' within a set context. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dba6ffc-04e5-48fd-be61-ac0bfe46aa13 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Apr 2021 - 11 Apr 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £55,000 | | 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 - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48318000 - Scanner software package - 48320000 - Drawing and imaging software package - 48321000 - Computer-aided design (CAD) software package - 48322000 - Graphics software package - 48325000 - Form-making software package - 48328000 - Image-processing software package ## Release History - 19 Mar 2021 at 16:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dba6ffc-04e5-48fd-be61-ac0bfe46aa13 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dba6ffc-04e5-48fd-be61-ac0bfe46aa13 19th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=37258&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.
