This procurement falls under the industrial machinery sector, specifically classified under the CPV code 42000000. The tender is in the active stage and will remain open for submissions until 10th December 2021. The expected contract period starts on 20th January 2022 and ends on 31st December 2022, with a total budget of £270,000 for goods and services related to the construction and installation of cryogenic equipment. This tender presents significant business opportunities for firms specialising in engineering design services, manufacturing of superconducting magnets, and other related industrial machinery. Companies with capabilities in developing cryogenic systems or those who can demonstrate high-quality engineering solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Participation in this procurement could enhance a business's reputation and expand its portfolio within the fusion research industry, especially as UKAEA invites collaboration to support the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) initiative. ## Notice The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is differentiated from other fusion tokamaks by the intent to utilise re-mountable joints for its magnet coils to facilitate ease of maintenance and commercial viability. This requirement is to provide a cryogenic test environment that is a representative of the expected operating environment of STEP and to enable UKAEA to test and develop re-mountable joints, in addition to other components. UKAEA wishes to appoint a Supplier for the Design, build, supply and installation of Cryostat with Superconducting Magnet, Test Sample current Leads and Variable Temperature Insert This includes: * Cryostat, * Integrated superconducting magnet its cryogenic current leads, * dedicated power supply for magnet, * The Unit Under Test (UUT) cryogenic current leads and a VTI This is fully detailed in Appendix 1 - Scope ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is differentiated from other fusion tokamaks by the intent to utilise re-mountable joints for its magnet coils to facilitate ease of maintenance and commercial viability.
