## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is currently conducting a procurement process for the "STEP WP5 - Design and Supply of Uniaxial Magnetic Testing Rig". This tender falls under the goods category within the laboratory, optical and precision equipment sector, specifically relevant to industrial or laboratory furnaces and mechanical installations. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period is set to close on 4 November 2019. The item delivery is specified for the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the contract expected to start on 15 November 2019 and conclude by 28 August 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers in the fields of high-precision testing equipment and research and development services. Businesses that specialise in creating advanced laboratory equipment capable of operating under extreme conditions—such as high temperature and magnetic fields—would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, providing a chance for growth in the competitive market of scientific instrumentation and services.

## Notice

UKAEA wishes to procure a rig that can perform uniaxial tests on samples subjected to high-temperature, high-magnetic field conditions within an environment that can be vacuum pumped or purge gas controlled. The Supplier shall design and supply a hydraulic uniaxial materials testing rig with high magnetic-field, high-temperature and vacuum environment capability. This is a 2 week extension of the previous tender as sufficient interest was not received.
