The tender, classified under the CPV code for engineering support services, is currently in the active stage with an end date for submissions set for 8th October 2020. The resulting contracts are expected to span from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2024, with the authority planning to award two separate contracts—one for Safety Case Support and another for Peer Review Support. This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering-related scientific and technical services, safety consultancy, or technical analysis to grow and expand their operations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender, as the authority encourages the involvement of smaller suppliers, fostering a competitive environment that may lead to further collaboration in the emerging field of fusion research. ## Notice The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority owns and operates the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) which is the UK's national laboratory for fusion research. CCFE is based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire. The Authority is responsible for the operation of the JET (Joint European Torus) facilities, via a contract between itself and the European Commission. JET is the world's largest magnetic fusion experiment and is still at the forefront of fusion research and is closely involved in testing plasma physics, systems and materials for ITER. The JET facilities are collectively used by all European fusion laboratories under the EUROfusion consortium. About 350 scientists from Europe, plus more from around the globe, participate in JET experiments each year, co-ordinated by a programme management unit. The UK fusion programme is centred on the innovative MAST (Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak) experiment which is also based at CCFE and employs around 150 people. In support of the above work, the Authority has a requirement for the Supply of Safety Case and Peer Review Support Services. The Client intends to award two contracts to two Suppliers. One Supplier will receive a contract for Safety Case Support; and a further Supplier will receive a contract for Peer Review Support. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7723c562-4e62-4a67-90b2-7ff136d6cdce | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - Other | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 8 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2021 - 31 Dec 2024 | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 71336000 - Engineering support services - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services - 71356300 - Technical support services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 79417000 - Safety consultancy services - 98113000 - Services furnished by specialist organisations ## Release History - 8 Sep 2020 at 14:18 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7723c562-4e62-4a67-90b2-7ff136d6cdce - 4 Sep 2020 at 13:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7723c562-4e62-4a67-90b2-7ff136d6cdce ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7723c562-4e62-4a67-90b2-7ff136d6cdce 8th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=33934&B=UK Invitation to Tender including Specification - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 Organisation Profile ## 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.
