## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, based in Abingdon, is the buying organisation for the procurement process titled "DEMO RMTF - TR0 Modular Integration Work Cell" in the research and testing facilities construction work industry category. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract period is from September 13, 2023, to March 31, 2024. The tender period ended on August 16, 2023, with Jacobs UK Limited winning the award worth £425,780.34. This procurement opportunity is well-suited for businesses interested in industrial robots and research, testing, and scientific technical simulators.

The awarded contract for the TR0 Modular Integration Work Cell presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in robotics and research technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider participating. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority's initiative aims to de-risk the design of subsequent RMTF test rigs, paving the way for innovative solutions in remote handling and reactor technology. Businesses with expertise in control algorithms and robotic systems are well-positioned to compete and contribute to the success of this project.

## Notice

RACE is developing the DEMO Remote Maintenance Test Facility (RMTF), which is intended to mitigate remote handling risks in the DEMO tokamak reactor project and to advance RACE's understanding of handling blanket segments - heavy, flexible payloads lining the inside of the reactor vessel. The programme of work for the RMTF will involve the development and subsequent integration of a number of test rigs delivering a range of DEMO relevant capabilities. The TR0 Modular Integration Work Cell (the subject of this procurement specification, henceforth referred to as "TR0") has been commissioned as a first step in understanding the performance of robotic systems when handling flexible payloads. TR0 will facilitate the development of control algorithms and will help to inform (and therefore de-risk) the design of subsequent RMTF test rigs.
