## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is planning a procurement process titled "H3AT-Gloveboxes" in the goods category. The authority aims to engage with contractors to finalise the design of gloveboxes for specific systems. This opportunity involves the integration of process equipment within these gloveboxes to deliver sub-assemblies of four systems (SDS, TVS, HPS, and ANS). The communication indicates a future notice date of 30th June 2023.

This tender by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority presents an opportunity for manufacturers in industries related to laboratory, optical equipment, and precision instruments. Businesses capable of designing and manufacturing non-nuclear type gloveboxes integrated with process equipment for specific systems are well-suited to compete. The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, offers a chance for interested parties to supply fully integrated and equipped glovebox assemblies for the H3AT facility, providing avenues for business growth.

## Notice

UKAEA wishes to engage with contractors capable of finalising the design of 15-off non-nuclear type gloveboxes and all process equipment to be integrated within to deliver sub-assemblies of four systems. The 15 gloveboxes are responsible for the secondary containment of the interconnecting process equipment that make up SDS, TVS, HPS and ANS. The Contractor is responsible for taking the detailed process design and developing it into a design for manufacture that optimises the manufacturability, operability, and maintainability of the gloveboxes and all the process equipment within.
