This opportunity falls under the services category with a deadline for tender submissions set for January 12, 2024. The contract period is scheduled to start on January 13, 2024, and end on January 14, 2024. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, based in Abingdon, is the buying organisation for this procurement, seeking to enhance engagement with parliamentarians and build cross-party support for fusion. This tender offers opportunities for business growth for public affairs agencies and other entities involved in the fusion energy sector. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this tender. The procurement method is an open procedure, providing a transparent process for interested suppliers. The Fusion Cluster, representing over 200 member organisations, aims to make the Fusion Energy All-Party Parliamentary Group more effective in supporting the fusion industry, presenting a valuable opportunity for businesses looking to engage with policymakers and contribute to the advancement of fusion technologies. ## Notice The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Fusion Energy was set up in 2018 in order to increase awareness and support for fusion amongst MPs and Peers. It is a forum for parliamentarians from across the political spectrum (as well as representatives from industry and the R&D community) to hear about the latest developments in fusion and how they can support UK fusion research. The UK Atomic Energy Authority (the national body for UK fusion research) was the prime mover behind setting up the group in 2018 and is currently the APPG Secretariat - responsible for organising the group's activities in conjunction with the Chair, John Howell MP. However, the fusion landscape in the UK has since changed significantly and there is now a need for the APPG to better represent the wider fusion ecosystem. This ranges from national labs and private sector fusion companies, to the supply chain and academic institutions. With that in mind, the secretariat for the APPG will soon move to the UK Fusion Cluster - an industry-wide body with more than 200 member organisations. UKAEA is looking for a public affairs agency to support The Fusion Cluster in running the Fusion Energy APPG for an initial year, with the prospect of a longer-term arrangement. The successful supplier will work with the Cluster to make the group a more effective tool for the fusion industry, increasing engagement with parliamentarians and building cross-party support for fusion. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/209a8f7d-2b75-4333-9fab-56747649e672 | | 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 | 8 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Jan 2024 - 14 Jan 2024 | | 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 | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 8 Dec 2023 at 12:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/209a8f7d-2b75-4333-9fab-56747649e672 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/209a8f7d-2b75-4333-9fab-56747649e672 8th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=76035&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.
