This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a total estimated value of £4,000,000. The procurement is aimed at supporting the Confinement Systems team and will be held at the Culham Science Centre, Abingdon. Key dates include a webinar event on 19th July, with a future notice date for further announcements set for 31st August 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in research and development, particularly those focusing on electrical machinery and materials testing. Companies specialising in superconducting and cryogenic technology, magnets, and related electrical components would be well-positioned to compete for the three lots outlined in the procurement. Engaging in this framework could enable firms to establish long-term partnerships with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and contribute to cutting-edge projects in fusion research. ## Notice The Spherical Tokomak for Energy Production Programme at UK Atomic Energy Authority is conducting an RFI and a webinar to support the development of the procurement strategy for a 3 lot framework for support services to the Confinement Systems team. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Lot 1 - Conceptual design and analysis work packages to address specific tasks or wider design challenges which involve major magnet subcomponent definition. Detailed analyses and design of superconducting or cryogenically cooled resistive magnet concept designs including design and optimisation studies. Lot 2 - Testing of materials or sub components - Physical validation of concept principles by manufacture and testing of prototype subcomponents or key critical materials including conductors and insulation. Design and manufacture of physical validation test articles. Insulation system and conductor specification development. Lot 3 - Conductor and Insulator Specification Development - Conductor specification development, early procurement engagement. Insulation system and specification development, early procurement engagement Additional information: UKAEA will be hosting two Webinar events on 19th July. The first will be at 08.30 - 10.00GMT and the second at 16.00 - 17.30GMT.
