This initiative falls under the goods procurement category, with an estimated value of £1,050,000 and is currently in the planning stage. UKAEA intends to initiate a competitive tendering process following an engagement exercise with potential suppliers, with a future notice date set for 1st July 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in laboratory and precision equipment fabrication, engineering design, and supply capabilities for radioactive materials. Companies with expertise in manufacturing and providing bespoke equipment for the fusion research sector will find this tender highly relevant, especially as the project aims to support advancements in fusion as a commercial power source while fostering collaboration within academia and industry for handling tritium and other isotopes. ## Notice UKAEA wishes to engage with potential glovebox manufacturers and suppliers for the provision of 20-off non-nuclear type gloveboxes and associated components to act as secondary containment for tritium process equipment. These gloveboxes will be utilised 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. Through this process we are looking to open-up the engagement for suppliers with the aim of ensuring there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements. After the engagement exercise, UKAEA intend to issue an Invitation to Tender through the EU Supply and Find a Tender portals (replacement to Tenders Electronic Daily) to procure services for design and provision of equipment through competitively tendered contracts. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UKAEA wishes to engage with potential glovebox manufacturers and suppliers for the provision of 20-off non-nuclear type gloveboxes and associated components to act as secondary containment for tritium process equipment. These gloveboxes will be utilised 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. The H3AT Facility Tritium Plant consists of the following sub-systems: * Storage and Delivery System [SDS] * Tokamak Vacuum Simulation [TVS] * Hydrogen Chemical Purification System [HPS] * Hydrogen Isotope Separation System (deemed collaborative contract development) [ISS] * Water Detritiation System (deemed collaborative contract development) [WDS] * Atmosphere Detritiation System [ADS] * Chemical and Isotope Analysis of Gaseous Mixtures System [ANS] * Radiological and Hazardous Gas Monitoring System [RGM] The Facility is a tool of the H3AT Project. The missions of this project are: * Supporting Delivery of fusion as a commercial power source * Promoting industry, academia and research companies for work related to handling tritium and other radioactive isotopes * Providing capability for training of next generation of scientists and engineers for development of the new power sources Through this process we are looking to open-up the engagement for suppliers with the aim of ensuring there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements. After the engagement exercise, UKAEA intend to issue an Invitation to Tender through the EU Supply and Find a Tender portals (replacement to Tenders Electronic Daily) to procure services for design and provision of equipment through competitively tendered contracts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005464-2022 | | 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 | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Jun 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,050,000 | | 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 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09343000 - Radioactive materials - 09344000 - Radio-isotopes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 45255400 - Fabrication work - 45262670 - Metalworking - 45262680 - Welding - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71320000 - Engineering design services - 71323000 - Engineering-design services for industrial process and production - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services ## Release History - 28 Feb 2022 at 16:39 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005464-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=44208&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.
