This project aims to enhance tritium measurement techniques for the DEMO plant, with a focus on safety, environmental compliance, and non-proliferation. The tender is in the active stage, with a contract period running from January 27, 2023, to March 31, 2023. The tender deadline is January 13, 2023, and the contract value is GBP 40,000. The procurement falls under the goods category and is open to SMEs and VCSEs. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialised in electric or vacuum pumps, aligning with CPV codes 31681200, 42122000, and 42122450 to engage with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. Companies based in the South East region of the United Kingdom would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The process is currently in the open procedure stage, providing a chance for interested parties to participate and potentially secure a contract for supplying the metal bellow pump needed for the TMC project. ## Notice The objective of Tritium Monitoring and Counting (TMC) project is to design, build and operate a test rig that will allow different on-line gas composition analysers to be tested under some of operating conditions that would be found in the DEMO plant. The intention of this work is to develop a tritium analytics experiment to support the DEMO tritium accountancy concept, namely, to provide improved knowledge on critical measurement techniques so that the associated uncertainty of the DEMO accountancy statement is reduced. Achieving this is prerequisite to satisfying the regulatory requirements pertaining to safety, the environment and non-proliferation for which the need to know how much tritium there is and where the tritium is in the fuel cycle at all times is key. A further requirement is the ability to measure tritium to satisfy the needs for process monitoring and control (PMC). To this end, four operating conditions have been identified: static, continuous, recirculation and response rate. The first phase of this project (Romanelli, 2021) showed that Raman and Mass Spectrometry are highly advanced in technical readiness for tritium measurements in DEMO. Therefore, Raman Spectrometry will be tested as a continuous measurement technique with Mass Spectrometry used as a reference technique. The TMC experimental rig is intended for gas analysis using a reference analyser and analytical analysers. The mass spectrometer has been chosen as the reference analyser while the Raman spectrometer is the analytical analyser. There is also the potential for using a second analytical analyser. Gas samples will be analysed using these analysers in different operational modes. The analysed gases will then be evacuated to a suitable location. Among the several required components for the TMC rig, there are different types of pumps. Object of the present tender is a metal bellow pump. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd90a37-c793-43e3-8497-dccdc6369ed6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - Open | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Jan 2023 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | 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 | EU SUPPLY LIMITED | | Additional buyers | 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 ### Codes - 31681200 - Electric pumps - 42122000 - Pumps - 42122450 - Vacuum pumps ## Release History - 16 Jan 2023 at 09:08 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd90a37-c793-43e3-8497-dccdc6369ed6 - 15 Dec 2022 at 14:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd90a37-c793-43e3-8497-dccdc6369ed6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4fd90a37-c793-43e3-8497-dccdc6369ed6 16th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=58176&B=UKAEA 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.
