The procurement is aimed at acquiring approximately twenty-six pressure vessels used in the Tritium Plant located at the H3AT Facility in Culham, which is currently under construction. Key dates include a planned future notice date of 31 March 2022, and the procurement will involve design analysis, manufacture, testing, and delivery to the Culham site. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), pressure vessel designers, and manufacturers. Companies with expertise in fabrication, engineering design, testing, and related services for pressure vessels will be well-positioned to compete. The scope of this procurement may expand following the preliminary and detailed engineering design phases, allowing for further engagement from a diverse range of skilled contractors in the engineering and fabrication sectors. ## Notice UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, SME's, pressure vessel designers and manufacturers for the supply of vessels in a variety of volumes. Approximately twenty-six vessels will be required. This is subject to preliminary and detailed engineering design phases, numbers may increase or decrease. These vessels will be for use in a number of sub-systems that will make up the Tritium Plant located within the new H3AT Facility currently in construction on the UKAEA Culham site. There will be two main types of vessel: single containment and dual containment. Vessels will be required to be taken through design analysis, manufacture, testing and then delivery to UKAEA's site in Culham. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, SME's, pressure vessel designers and manufacturers for the supply of vessels in a variety of volumes.
