The contract involves mechanical and electrical engineering services and will require the cutting of Divertor Coils in a challenging environment. The deadline for PIN registration was recently moved to 23rd June 2023. This tender opportunity with UKAEA presents a chance for businesses specializing in mechanical and electrical engineering services, research and development, and decommissioning to participate. Companies with expertise in designing and prototyping robotic systems may find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. The contract is at the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 18th August 2023, offering interested businesses time to prepare their submissions. ## Notice UKAEA is entering a multi-year decommissioning programme of Joint European Torus experimental fusion device at the end of 2023. The intend is for the inside of the vessel to be taken apart using existing remote-handling capabilities. One of the key components that need to be cut are the Divertor Coils, which are located inside of the tokamak. The part provides cutting challenges because of requirements to cut it 'cold', 'dry', the need to deploy it in a geometrically restricted space, and the fact it will be operated by robotic systems. UKAEA will issue a contract through a competitive tender to develop a "Divertor Removal Tool". The Contractor will undertake a full design, prototyping, and testing cycle as outlined in section . ### Lot Information Lot 1 UKAEA is entering a multi-year decommissioning programme of Joint European Torus experimental fusion device at the end of 2023.
