The tender, titled "Palladium Permeators and Palladium Membrane Reactors," falls under the engineering-design services for industrial process and production category. Key dates include the tender period that ends on 28 November 2024, and the contract period from 10 March 2025 to 11 January 2027. The procurement method being used is a restricted procedure, and the estimated contract term is 22 months. The location for delivery involves numerous regions including the United Kingdom, Europe, and the British Oversea Territories. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses adept in engineering and industrial process design, particularly those focused on advanced materials and manufacturing for energy systems. Ideal candidates would be established firms capable of handling comprehensive projects from design through to factory and site acceptance testing, integrating complex process equipment into specified facilities. The project requires detailed knowledge and capabilities in process design, factory assembly, and compliance with stringent testing protocols, making it a suitable venture for businesses specialising in industrial equipment for energy systems and industrial engineering solutions. ## Notice UKAEA wishes to procure the Design, analysis, manufacture, assembly, Factory Acceptance Testing, delivery, Site Acceptance Testing, plus support during the installation, Integrated Testing, and commissioning of 3-off palladium-silver permeators, 2-off palladium-silver membrane reactors, three-off recuperative heat exchangers, and four cooling coils for the Hydrogen Purification System to be supplied into the Hydrogen 3 Advanced Technology facility at UKAEA's Culham Science Centre. The requirement also includes the sourcing of one steam generator and one dosing pump for providing water vapour into the PMR, including detailed design of the associated lines and process equipment. Designs are to be manufactured by the Contractor and must support and contain the process equipment whilst providing external process and Electrical, Control and Instrumentation (EC&I) connections. The manufacturing, testing and delivery includes assembling all the process equipment fabricated/procured by the Contractor into completed permeators and PMRs for future installation by others into Gloveboxes. The Contractor/Supplier must undertake Factory Acceptance Testing to demonstrate the functionality of the permeator and PMR assemblies. Dedicated design reviews, and a full review of all design documentation shall be conducted by the Office of Chief Engineers (OCE) prior to any production to ensure the permeator and PMR assemblies meet the UKAEA requirements listed within the Tender pack. The Contractor/Supplier shall deliver the permeators and PMRs to Culham and complete Site Acceptance Testing, after which a third party will conduct the Installation, Integrated Testing, and commissioning with support from the Contractor/Supplier. Sufficient information shall be provided for inclusion within the technical file (LTQR) to support the overall conformity marking of the system. The estimated duration of design, manufacturing, testing, and delivery is 22 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0f57ed0-7fa9-4731-8ff2-3e5ae41c4aa2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Other - Other | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 28 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Mar 2025 - 11 Jan 2027 | | 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 | EU SUPPLY LIMITED | | Additional buyers | 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 - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 42 - Industrial machinery - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 38420000 - Instruments for measuring flow, level and pressure of liquids and gases - 38800000 - Industrial process control equipment and remote-control equipment - 42510000 - Heat-exchange units, air-conditioning and refrigerating equipment, and filtering machinery - 42511000 - Heat-exchange units and machinery for liquefying air or other gases - 42511100 - Heat-exchange units - 42910000 - Distilling, filtering or rectifying apparatus - 42993000 - Chemical industry machinery - 51000000 - Installation services (except software) - 51100000 - Installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment - 51112000 - Installation services of electricity distribution and control equipment - 51112100 - Installation services of electricity distribution equipment - 51112200 - Installation services of electricity control equipment - 51120000 - Installation services of mechanical equipment - 51430000 - Installation services of laboratory equipment - 51500000 - Installation services of machinery and equipment - 51510000 - Installation services of general-purpose machinery and equipment - 51800000 - Installation services of metal containers - 51810000 - Installation services of tanks - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71323000 - Engineering-design services for industrial process and production - 71330000 - Miscellaneous engineering services - 71333000 - Mechanical engineering services - 71334000 - Mechanical and electrical engineering services - 71335000 - Engineering studies - 71336000 - Engineering support services - 71340000 - Integrated engineering services - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73120000 - Experimental development services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 73430000 - Test and evaluation ## Release History - 22 Nov 2024 at 15:39 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0f57ed0-7fa9-4731-8ff2-3e5ae41c4aa2 - 22 Oct 2024 at 17:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0f57ed0-7fa9-4731-8ff2-3e5ae41c4aa2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0f57ed0-7fa9-4731-8ff2-3e5ae41c4aa2 22nd November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=84037&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.
