The procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 13th August 2021, and the project is anticipated to commence on 13th September 2021, lasting until 13th December 2021. The procurement will involve the delivery of goods to various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, among others. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the manufacturing and installation of cryogenic distillation systems and associated equipment. Enterprises specialising in engineering services, mechanical and electrical installations, and testing equipment are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The nature of this project indicates a preference for businesses that can demonstrate experience in advanced technology initiatives, making it an attractive prospect for larger firms and specialised contractors in the sector. ## Notice The Isotope Separation System (ISS) is a sub-system of the H3AT Facility ITER-like Tritium Loop, designed to separate hydrogen isotope gas mixtures by cryogenic distillation. It will take mixed hydrogen isotopes from the Hydrogen Purification System and protium from the Water Detritiation system, to produce isotope streams to suit ITER, DEMO and H3AT research requirements. This sub-system will feed tritium and deuterium to the Storage and Distribution System and protium to the Water Detritation System. This system will comprise 4 cryogenic distillation columns, cold box, valve box, packed bed reactors (equilibriators), expansion vessels and refrigeration plant. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/765265d1-dc58-418e-91db-12dec843d999 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Sep 2021 - 13 Dec 2021 | | 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 - 42 - Industrial machinery - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 42123300 - Compressors for refrigerating equipment - 42510000 - Heat-exchange units, air-conditioning and refrigerating equipment, and filtering machinery - 42511000 - Heat-exchange units and machinery for liquefying air or other gases - 42511100 - Heat-exchange units - 42511110 - Heat pumps - 42511200 - Machinery for liquefying air or other gases - 42910000 - Distilling, filtering or rectifying apparatus - 51000000 - Installation services (except software) - 51100000 - Installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment - 51110000 - Installation services of electrical equipment - 51112000 - Installation services of electricity distribution and control equipment - 51112100 - Installation services of electricity distribution equipment - 51112200 - Installation services of electricity control equipment - 51120000 - Installation services of mechanical equipment - 51230000 - Installation services of testing equipment - 51430000 - Installation services of laboratory equipment - 51500000 - Installation services of machinery and equipment - 51510000 - Installation services of general-purpose machinery and equipment - 51800000 - Installation services of metal containers - 51810000 - Installation services of tanks - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71320000 - Engineering design services - 71323000 - Engineering-design services for industrial process and production - 71330000 - Miscellaneous engineering services - 71333000 - Mechanical engineering services - 71334000 - Mechanical and electrical engineering services - 71335000 - Engineering studies - 71336000 - Engineering support services - 71340000 - Integrated engineering services - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 73430000 - Test and evaluation ## Release History - 9 Jul 2021 at 16:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/765265d1-dc58-418e-91db-12dec843d999 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/765265d1-dc58-418e-91db-12dec843d999 9th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=38731&B=UK 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.
