This procurement falls under the category of goods and is classified within the electrical machinery sector. A future notice for this tender is expected to be published on 3rd October 2022, with the procurement process being initiated through a competitive tendering method following supplier engagement. The primary procurement activities focus on ensuring adequate production capacity to meet project timelines and design specifications. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other suppliers specialising in electrical equipment, measuring instruments, and radiation monitoring devices. Businesses capable of supplying components such as switches, meters, and analytical instruments would be particularly well-suited to compete. The engagement will enable suppliers to establish collaborations and contribute to cutting-edge fusion research, thereby fostering growth within the industry related to the handling of tritium and the development of new energy technologies. ## Notice UKAEA wishes to engage with potential equipment suppliers and SMEs for the supply of approximately 384 instruments. These components will be for use in several sub systems that will make up the Tritium Plant located within the new H3AT Facility currently in construction on the UKAEA Culham site. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UKAEA wishes to engage with potential equipment suppliers and SMEs for the supply of approximately 384 instruments. These components will be for use in several 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 engagement with suppliers to ensure there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements. The scope of work as defined in this PIN can be broken down into smaller packages depending on supplier feedback. However, UKAEA will aim to minimise the number of independent packages to simplify the tendering process 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/019685-2022 | | 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 | 19 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Oct 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 31000000 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 31214100 - Switches - 31230000 - Parts of electricity distribution or control apparatus - 31600000 - Electrical equipment and apparatus - 31680000 - Electrical supplies and accessories - 31682520 - Emergency shutdown systems - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 38126300 - Temperature or humidity surface observing apparatus - 38300000 - Measuring instruments - 38341000 - Apparatus for measuring radiation - 38341310 - Ammeters - 38400000 - Instruments for checking physical characteristics - 38416000 - PH meters - 38420000 - Instruments for measuring flow, level and pressure of liquids and gases - 38421000 - Flow-measuring equipment - 38421110 - Flowmeters - 38422000 - Level-measuring equipment - 38423000 - Pressure-measuring equipment - 38434000 - Analysers - 38930000 - Humidity and moisture measuring instruments ## Release History - 19 Jul 2022 at 15:11 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019685-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=50660&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.
