This tender falls under the industry category of training services, specifically focusing on training simulators and related software development. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 25th June 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 26th July 2021 and will run until 2nd September 2022, with a total contract value estimated at £125,000. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in training services, particularly those specializing in training software development and training programme services. Companies with experience in remote operations and robotics training will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities, as it aims to develop a comprehensive training framework for operators involved in nuclear decommissioning processes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, enhancing their potential for business growth while contributing to important advancements in the nuclear sector. ## Notice United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is managing a programme of collaborative research and development in decommissioning robotics. This programme is known as LongOps which stands for LONG Term OPerationS using LONG Reach Manipulators. It is addressing three international nuclear operations use cases: * decommissioning in the UK; * decommissioning of the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors in Japan; and * fusion remote operations. Each of these nuclear end users has a need to develop solutions to conduct work over many decades inside large, shielded spaces which contain hazardous material using remotely controlled 'long reach' slender robotics. This requirement is to analyse training needs and develop a training programme based on the experience of remote handling operations in the UK, which will be delivered to robotics operators of the primary stakeholder of the LongOps programme. However please note the scope of this contract does not include the implementation of training to trainees. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d3376d2-7f98-4f3e-8566-3bd4b75ecd72 | | 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 | 28 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Jul 2021 - 2 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £125,000 | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 34152000 - Training simulators - 72212931 - Training software development services - 80500000 - Training services - 80521000 - Training programme services ## Release History - 28 May 2021 at 18:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d3376d2-7f98-4f3e-8566-3bd4b75ecd72 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d3376d2-7f98-4f3e-8566-3bd4b75ecd72 28th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=38137&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.
