This tender, classified under the industrial machinery category, is in the tender stage, with submissions closing on 13th June 2022. The contract will start on 8th August 2022 and run until 7th February 2023, with delivery required in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) well-versed in mechanical and electrical engineering. Businesses engaged in the manufacturing of mechanical equipment or installation services that can meet the strict standards required by the UK's atomic sector, particularly those with a focus on advanced machinery for controlled environments, will find this tender particularly relevant. Competing for this contract can enhance market visibility and foster connections within the growing nuclear research sector. ## Notice UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), based at the Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, hereafter referred to as the Purchaser, carries out research into the use of controlled fusion for the generation of power. In support of the international ITER fusion experiment, under the ITER Robotic Test Facility (IRTF) scope of work, the Purchaser aims to demonstrate the feasibility of remote maintenance operations, that will be carried out within the ITER Hot Cell Complex (HCC). This is being demonstrated through full-scale physical mock-up trials, at the premises of the Purchaser. The results of these trials will inform the final design of the relevant components and systems. As part of this work, the manufacture and assembly of a mock-up Port Plug, Diagnostic Shield Module (DSM) and Diagnostic First Wall (DFW) and all associated fixings is required. It should be noted that although it will be necessary to manufacture the components to the exacting standards required for the Purchaser site, they will not be operating in a radiation environment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/837e3742-1588-402c-985b-f9879b81f401 | | 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 | 21 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Aug 2022 - 7 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 - 42 - Industrial machinery - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 42000000 - Industrial machinery - 42100000 - Machinery for the production and use of mechanical power - 42900000 - Miscellaneous general and special-purpose machinery - 51100000 - Installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment - 51120000 - Installation services of mechanical equipment - 71333000 - Mechanical engineering services - 71334000 - Mechanical and electrical engineering services ## Release History - 21 Apr 2022 at 13:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/837e3742-1588-402c-985b-f9879b81f401 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/837e3742-1588-402c-985b-f9879b81f401 21st April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=46006&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.
