## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is seeking to procure up to three haptic dextrous robotic manipulators for the RACE Facility in the UK. This procurement, titled "Supply, Installation and Commissioning of Robotic Manipulator Arm(s) at RACE Facility, UK," is classified under the goods category, specifically focusing on control panels and industrial robots. The procurement method used is a selective negotiated procedure, with the tender period having ended on 4 January 2021. The contract period commenced on 18 March 2021 and is set to conclude on 28 February 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in robotics and control systems, particularly those with capabilities in supplying and installing advanced machinery. Companies involved in mechanical and electrical engineering services may find this tender particularly relevant, given the technical specifications regarding devices suitable for high radiation environments. With a contract value of approximately £3.08 million, vendors experienced in complex installation and commissioning projects would be well-placed to compete effectively for this contract.

## Notice

UKAEA wishes to procure, on behalf of RACE, up to three haptic dextrous manipulators, complete with Electrical and Controls Systems, to deliver key aspects of a research & training programme. The scope includes supply, installation, commissioning of the manipulators at a Facility in the UK and training of operators. Whilst the manipulators that are the subject of this procurement are not intended for deployment in nuclear environments, it is essential that devices offered are suited to such an environment to ensure the validity of the research & training programme. Therefore the manipulators must be representative of devices that may be deployed in high radiation and contamination environments.
