## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is planning a tender titled "H3AT Getter Beds" for the supply of seven Depleted Uranium Getter Beds. This procurement falls under the goods category and specifically relates to pressure vessels. The tender is currently in the planning stage with a future notice date set for 3rd December 2021. The intended delivery location is the UKAEA site in Culham, Abingdon, within the region of UKJ14.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), along with prime contractors and manufacturers skilled in pressure vessel design and production. Businesses with capabilities in engineering services, metalworking, fabrication, and testing are particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging with the UKAEA during this process will provide suppliers with insights into specific requirements, ultimately helping to shape the final procurement strategy.

## Notice

The UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, SME's, pressure vessel designers and manufacturers for the supply of 7-off Depleted Uranium Getter Beds; each bed having similar secondary vessels but different internals within the primary vessels. Two concept designs have been developed, they will need to be taken through design analysis, manufacture, testing and then delivery to UKAEA's site in Culham. Through this process we are looking to open-up the engagement for suppliers to understand the specific requirements for the Getter Beds and assist with informing the final procurement strategy.
