## Summary

The procurement process involves the National Nuclear Laboratory Limited, which is seeking to renew the STAR CCM+ software, a key computational fluid dynamics package essential to the nuclear industry's modelling capabilities. This contract falls under the goods category, and the total value is £34,764. The procurement method was a direct single tender action below the threshold, with the contract period commencing on 19 October 2021 and concluding on 19 October 2022. The tender was awarded on 27 September 2021 and is located in Warrington, England, with relevant documentation published on 12 November 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in software development and simulation tools, particularly those that have a focus on the nuclear or energy sectors. Suppliers with a proven track record in providing advanced software solutions for complex thermal and structural modelling would be particularly well-suited to compete. As the nuclear industry continues to evolve and face new challenges, companies that can offer innovative solutions in this space may find substantial growth opportunities stemming from this contract and similar future initiatives.

## Notice

NNL's thermal and structural modelling area is a growing capability and plays an essential role in solving complex problems throughout the nuclear industry. As part of this capability a computational fluid dynamics software package capable of considering a range of physics is required. Having a robust multiphase and particle dynamics modelling capability is key to answering future challenges of the nuclear industry that includes but not limited to interim and long term fuel storage, post operational clear out (POCO), hydrogen flammability and understanding the transport of solid particulates in and around plant systems and infrastructure.
