## Summary

The procurement process involves the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) initiating a contract titled "STEP WP9 Task 1 - Waste Disposal and Decommissioning Optioneering REBID." This project, which belongs to the engineering services industry, specifically focuses on waste management solutions related to nuclear operations. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and is currently in the Award stage, having been published on 10th February 2020. The contract period began on 21st October 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2020, with a total contract value of £69,761.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in engineering services, particularly those with expertise in waste management, recycling, and decommissioning technologies. Companies capable of delivering innovative solutions in the nuclear waste sector will find this procurement particularly relevant. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete for this contract due to the suitability criteria, which favour smaller businesses in the bidding process.

## Notice

UKAEA wishes to initiate a contract to explore the processing, disposal and recycling solutions for waste materials that are likely to be generated during the nuclear operation of a STEP device. This will build upon the research-based waste assessment studies already performed by UKAEA as part of EUROfusion demonstration fusion power plant ('DEMO') studies but with a more engineering and technological focus. The project is aimed at guiding future STEP R&D, for example to indicate if the current "low-activation" constraints can be relaxed or if further mitigation steps are required in the design of STEP. The decommissioning plans for STEP should become part of the design phase and this contract will aim to deliver a prototype plan for a fusion device.
