This tender is currently at the awarded stage, finalised on 5th August 2022, with an estimated contract value of £248,750. The contract, aimed at enhancing the current remote handling safety system at the Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Culham, is vital for upgrading to a modern system that meets performance level requirements. The contract is expected to facilitate significant advancements in fusion energy research while ensuring safety compliance. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in software design, engineering, and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in nuclear and industrial control systems. Companies that can demonstrate quality in design, documentation capabilities, and relevant organisational experience would be well poised to compete. This project is particularly suited for firms that are innovative in leveraging technology to enhance safety systems, contributing to the future of energy from fusion technology. ## Notice The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is leading research in the generation of energy from fusion technology, primarily using the Joint European Torus (JET) vessel located at Culham. The current Remote Handling (RH) Safety System, otherwise known as the Emergency Stop System (EMS), has been in use for many years. The system is due to be upgraded and replaced with a modern, fit for purpose, Performance Level (PL) rated system to enable the Remote Handling (RH) plant to operate well into the future. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is leading research in the generation of energy from fusion technology, primarily using the Joint European Torus (JET) vessel located at Culham.
