This procurement process, classified under the services category and specifically related to nuclear energy, is based in the South East of England. The tender is in the active planning stage and will close for submissions on 22 November 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 9 December 2019 and conclude by 20 March 2020. The procurement method employed for this opportunity is an open procedure, with a total contract value capped at £140,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering design and digital information management services, particularly those with expertise in Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twinning techniques. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contracting authority seeks a balanced representation for the consortium members. Enterprises offering services in documentation, project supervision, research and development, as well as consultancy services within the nuclear sector, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to innovate engineering strategies for future nuclear fusion projects. ## Notice The Client (UKAEA) seeks to modernise and provide innovation for its Engineering Information Management Strategy for the next decade. This work will be used to inform and influence the STEP project. STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) is the UK's study into the feasibility of building a power producing plant using nuclear fusion. The successful Consultant(s) will be selected by the Client to be members of a consortium that produces technological roadmaps that define key engineering technology areas that should be exploited on a 5-10 year timeframe. It should be noted that the Client is limited to an aggregated contract value of PS140,000 and where possible it will be in the interest of the Client to select a balance of representations for the consortium. Engineering information is loosely defined as: Information generated post concept design as a result of design progressing and maturing. This information required is analogous to the information generated using a BIM approach. Using BIM as a starting point the Client wishes to roadmap to future breakthrough use-age cases for both BIM and digital twinning. This work has a key interface with the Digital Engineering Strategy issued to market previously (T-VT066-19 - STEP WP1 - Production of Roadmap). As a starting point, the Client has posed the following questions: What might a breakthrough use case of BIM/IM look like for STEP? What might a breakthrough use case of digital twinning look for STEP? The output of this work will be used to inform: The STEP project and will influence the Digital Engineering Strategy. The wider engineering endeavours of UKAEA in supporting fusion development. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b8fc876-6686-406f-98ea-977c361d61c8 | | 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 | 24 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 22 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Dec 2019 - 20 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | 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 | 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 - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 09300000 - Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy - 09340000 - Nuclear fuels - 38970000 - Research, testing and scientific technical simulator - 71248000 - Supervision of project and documentation - 71320000 - Engineering design services - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services - 72212300 - Document creation, drawing, imaging, scheduling and productivity software development services - 72512000 - Document management services - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 79131000 - Documentation services ## Release History - 24 Oct 2019 at 11:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b8fc876-6686-406f-98ea-977c361d61c8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b8fc876-6686-406f-98ea-977c361d61c8 24th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=30607&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.
