## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is planning to initiate a tender titled "H3AT Skid Manufacture" for the fabrication, assembly, and testing of modular skid-mounted assemblies and gloveboxes, which are essential components for the Tritium Plant currently under construction at the UKAEA Culham site in Abingdon, UK. The total value of this procurement is approximately £8,750,000, and it falls under the goods category, specifically classified under instrumentation and control equipment (CPV code: 31682210). The procurement is in the planning stage, with a communication on future notices expected by 1 July 2022.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly for prime contractors, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fabricators, and assemblers specialising in the relevant technologies. Companies involved in the manufacture of modular equipment, piping systems, and engineering design services will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this process not only allows suppliers to contribute to a cutting-edge project but also positions them for future contracts that may arise as the project evolves.

## Notice

UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, SME's, fabricators and assemblers for the fabrication, assembly and testing of 5-10 modular skid mounted assemblies and the fitout of 20 gloveboxes (gloveboxes to be free issued or provisioned by the contractor). Scope and quantity to be confirmed at ITT and is subject to preliminary and detailed engineering design phases. These units will make up a number of sub-systems that will form the Tritium Plant located within the new H3AT Facility currently in construction on the UKAEA Culham site. The units will generally comprise of equipment, valves, instrumentation and interconnecting pipework mounted into containment skids or in gloveboxes (gloveboxes to be tendered as a separate package). Skids will be required to accommodate equipment and piping in various sizes, approximate footprints of 0.5x0.5m up to 2.8x1.5m and heights 0.5-2.1m (to be confirmed).
