The procurement falls under the industrial machinery category and involves the testing of systems related to controlled fusion for power generation. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the contract period is from 17th June 2024 to 30th October 2024. This tender provides opportunities for businesses involved in engineering services and mechanical and electrical engineering. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly suited for this opportunity. The location of the project is at the Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, UK. Businesses interested in providing goods related to industrial machinery and research and development platforms should consider participating in this procurement process. ## Notice Project Overview: 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. The Single Joint Test Rig or SOJ will be used to test systems with a vertical travel component. It should be noted that although it will be necessary to manufacture the components to the exacting standards required for the Purchaser's site, they will not be operating in a radiation environment. The specification details the requirements for the procurement of the SOJ and forms part of the invitation to supply. Due to time pressures involved in the delivery of this project, the Purchaser will attach significant importance to submissions with shorter but realistic and justified, timelines. The Single Joint Test Rig (SOJ) has been designed using structural steel components, fabricated, and machined where appropriate, and assembled including commercial off the shelf equipment and fasteners. They are supported on existing UKAEA components, including the large angle blocks and bed plates as shown. Test operations will be run by SQEP operators, one operating the chain wheel and another operator outside the cell overseeing operations. The SOJ assembly is comprised of the following main components: Vertical Lifting Frame Transmission system The facility will be used as a research and development platform. It is based around a carriage supported on a back plate and linear slide rails, actuated by a lead screw driven by an operator through a transmission system. The facility is based in a work hall which is equipped with overhead cranes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e360694e-778e-481c-8a1d-160715e5bc52 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 17 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Jun 2024 | | Contract period | 10 Jul 2024 - 30 Oct 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £48,500 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HYDE GROUP NUCLEAR | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 42000000 - Industrial machinery - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71330000 - Miscellaneous engineering services - 71333000 - Mechanical engineering services - 71334000 - Mechanical and electrical engineering services ## Release History - 11 Jul 2024 at 12:23 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e360694e-778e-481c-8a1d-160715e5bc52 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e360694e-778e-481c-8a1d-160715e5bc52 11th July 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=80392&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.
