## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority for the project titled "Additive Manufacturing Technology Demonstration In Tungsten Mock-Up Development." This process falls under the goods category, specifically related to tungsten, and is taking place in the UK. Currently, the procurement is in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 19th August 2022. The primary aim of this initiative is to assess existing marketing capabilities in additive manufacturing technologies, particularly powder bed fusion methods.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in advanced manufacturing, especially those specialising in additive manufacturing technologies and materials science. Companies with expertise in producing high-quality tungsten components that cater to complex structural requirements may find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging in this procurement process could provide businesses not only with potential contracts but also exposure to the growing field of fusion research and its applications.

## Notice

The purpose of this RFII is to have a better understanding of the marketing capabilities of additive manufacturing that currently exist. The two dominant types within the scope of our interests are powder bed fusion methods such as laser beam (PBF-LB) and electron beam (PBF-EB). The main objective is to find out supplier's unique capabilities to produce parts with complex structures out of tungsten with high print quality. These parts will be intended to be used in material testing, with potential application as plasma-facing component of a tokamak fusion reactor.
