This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on the nuclear fuels industry category. Interested parties have until 12 November 2021 to engage, with an online workshop scheduled in October for further discussions. The tender is primarily targeted at organisations located in the United Kingdom, and further information can be accessed through the Game Changers platform. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in innovative technology development, particularly those specialising in Industry 4.0 solutions relevant to the nuclear sector. Companies with capabilities in research, consultancy, and development services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. By participating, these organisations may not only influence the challenge's outcomes but also position themselves for future procurement exercises that may arise from this initiative. ## Notice This PIN is to inform the supply chain that the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) are seeking innovative approaches to overcome barriers to the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in the nuclear sector. This challenge will be administered though the Game Changers programme and advertised on their website during October / November 2021. A challenge statement published on the website will provide a detailed overview of the challenge requirements along with any constraints and restrictions. An online workshop will be held in October to provide an opportunity for Q&A with the challenge owners. Details of the workshop and how to register for it will be shared on the Game Changers website. Interested technology providers should complete and submit a Game Changers application via the Game Changers website www.gamechangers.technology. The challenge is open to any organisation who feel they can meet the technical requirements. The closing date for applications will be 12 November 2021. Interested organisations should note that the issue of this PIN may not result in a full procurement exercise being conducted. The outcome of the Game Changers challenge will determine whether a full procurement exercise will follow. We would therefore encourage any organisation which has the capability, knowledge and experience in the prevention and/or minimising leaks to respond to this PIN and visit the Game Changers (https://www.gamechangers.technology/) website for further information on the Game Changers challenge. If BEIS and NNL progress to a future procurement opportunity in this area, the learning gathered from the Game Changers technology study may be shared with all potential suppliers, noting that commercially sensitive information will not be included.
