The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with an expression of interest exercise ongoing to gather feedback from interested parties. The questionnaire must be completed and submitted through the EU Supply website by the extended deadline of 16 September 2021. UKAEA is located at Culham Science Centre, Abingdon, OX14 3DB, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software development, particularly those specialising in analytical, scientific, and configuration management software. Companies with expertise in creating industry-specific software solutions, particularly those designed for managing complex data systems and lifecycle processes in fusion energy research, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging with this procurement process could enhance market presence within the energy sector and support the ambitious goals of the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) programme. ## Notice UKAEA are carrying out an expression of interest exercise and are taking views from interested parties in respect of a Plant Information System project. The questionnaire should be completed and returned via the EU Supply website. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is an ambitious programme to accelerate the delivery of sustainable fusion energy. The STEP programme is a staged programme to design and build the world's first compact fusion reactor, based on the spherical tokamak, by 2040. It will develop and identify solutions to the challenges of delivering fusion energy, benefiting from UKAEA's breadth of expertise and its suite of research facilities - RACE, Materials Research Facility, H3AT and Fusion Technology Facilities. A STEP Plant and Tokamak Information Management System is envisaged to provide a centralised repository for all Plant/Reactor information assets. The information backbone provided by such a system will record the 'Digital Thread', tracing relationships and origins between data sets, to capture the evolutionary design rationale and intent, of the fusion reactor definition. The system shall supply core capabilities summarised as Simulation Management, Design by Analysis, Process & Record Management, Product Requirements & System Engineering Management, Plant Item and Plant Breakdown Structure Management,CAD & Document Management and Configuration Management & Change Control. The system shall facilitate the Tranche 1 objectives of the STEP Programme lifecycle, to produce a concept design by 2024. It shall be scalable to meet the functional needs of future phases of the STEP lifecycle. Additional information: UKAEA are carrying an expression of interest exercise and are taking views from interested parties in respect of this project. The questionnaire should be completed and returned via the EU Supply website. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022394-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Sep 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | 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 - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 48300000 - Document creation, drawing, imaging, scheduling and productivity software package - 48461000 - Analytical or scientific software package - 48610000 - Database systems - 48982000 - Configuration management software package ## Release History - 9 Sep 2021 at 13:08 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022394-2021 - 23 Jul 2021 at 13:38 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017515-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=38943&B=UK - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
