## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is currently conducting a public procurement process for the supply and installation of a laser system at the Culham Science Centre in Abingdon, England. This tender, titled "Supply and Installation of a Laser for JET at Culham Science Centre," is categorised under goods with a focus on industrial lasers (CPV codes: 38636100 and 38636110). The procurement method is an open procedure, and interested parties have until 25 January 2021 to submit their bids. The contract period is set to commence on 19 March 2021 and conclude on 10 January 2022.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in the manufacturing and installation of laser systems, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may have innovative solutions in laser technology. Companies with experience in high-precision industrial equipment and a solid understanding of scientific applications in the energy sector would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement could enable organisations to expand their portfolio and strengthen their market presence, particularly in specialised fields like nuclear fusion research and technology advancement.

## Notice

The purchased Laser System shall form part of the 'LID-QMS' capability. This capability shall deliver experiments measuring the fuel content of in-vessel tiles on JET. The technique employed desorbs fuel in the tile surface and co-deposited on the tile surface through localised heating. This laser induced desorption technique is paired with residual gas analysis techniques, specifically quadrupole mass spectrometry, to provide measurements of the quantity of fuel retained on tiles in the high deposition areas of the vessel diverter.
