The procurement process is in the active tendering stage, with a defined end date for submissions on 21 October 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 31 October 2019 and conclude on 1 March 2020. This tender falls within the services category and is classified under several relevant CPV codes, including feasibility studies and engineering services, with delivery anticipated in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing broad participation from interested suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the engineering and technical consultancy sectors, particularly those with expertise in material science and nuclear applications. Companies that can demonstrate capabilities in the assessment of material deposition techniques and a thorough understanding of remote handling technologies would be well-suited to take part in this tender. With the growing focus on innovation in nuclear fusion repair methods, this project could be a springboard for firms looking to expand their services and establish a foothold in a niche yet vital area of technology development within the energy sector. ## Notice The Client (UKAEA) seeks to assess the viability of applying different material deposition processes remotely to in-situ repair plasma facing components in nuclear fusion reactors. The successful Consultant (Supplier) will be selected by the Client to research material deposition techniques provided by the Client, to identify typical operating parameters and the equipment required to apply these processes as repair techniques. The Consultant will then use this information to perform an assessment on the viability and technology readiness level of using these material deposition processes for in-situ repair and define the requirements on the remote handling deployment to apply these processes in situ. Finally, the Consultant will produce a basic concept design for in-situ repair tools for each of the material deposition techniques. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87b49459-2680-4869-b575-8c8c1a9ef3b6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | 21 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Oct 2019 - 1 Mar 2020 | | 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 - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 71241000 - Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis - 71335000 - Engineering studies - 71356200 - Technical assistance services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 23 Sep 2019 at 11:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87b49459-2680-4869-b575-8c8c1a9ef3b6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87b49459-2680-4869-b575-8c8c1a9ef3b6 23rd September 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=30210&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.
