## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is conducting a procurement process for the "STEP FUEL CYCLE - TRITIUM ENGINEERING" project, aimed at gathering expertise in tritium engineering and related services. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on the provision of radio-isotopes and associated engineering designs. The open tender procedure was initiated on May 13, 2022, with a contract period starting from August 9, 2021, to April 4, 2024. The opportunity is open to suppliers delivering their bids until May 17, 2021. The delivery addresses include regions such as the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in nuclear engineering, safety services, and plant engineering design. Companies with expertise in tritium management or those involved in nuclear reactor technology may find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities. Since the procurement allows for involvement from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), firms that can demonstrate relevant experience and knowledge in the nuclear sector will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this framework could enable businesses to enhance their portfolios and establish valuable connections in the burgeoning field of nuclear energy production.

## Notice

UKAEA are looking to procure the services of select suppliers to provide knowledge of tritium and tritium engineering under a new Tritium Framework. This framework is being issued by the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) to support the project's work towards a concept design in 2024.
