## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has initiated a tender process for the procurement of 7-off Depleted Uranium Getter Beds to be supplied to their site in Culham. This procurement falls under the goods category with a focus on Tanks, reservoirs, containers, and pressure vessels. The main objective is to engage potential prime contractors, SMEs, and pressure vessel designers for the design, manufacture, testing, and delivery of the getter beds, with a future notice date set for 1st October 2023.

This tender opportunity by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority presents a lucrative prospect for businesses involved in engineering services, metalworking, welding, and fabrication work. Companies well-versed in steel pressure vessels, mechanical engineering, and design-modelling services will find this tender particularly relevant. The procurement process aims to open up opportunities for suppliers to understand specific requirements and contribute to the final procurement strategy, making it ideal for businesses focusing on these capabilities.

## Notice

The UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, SME's, pressure vessel designers and manufacturers for the supply of 7-off Depleted Uranium Getter Beds; each bed having similar secondary vessels but different internals within the primary vessels. Two concept designs have been developed, they will need to be taken through design analysis, manufacture, testing and then delivery to UKAEA's site in Culham. Through this process we are looking to open-up the engagement for suppliers to understand the specific requirements for the Getter Beds and assist with informing the final procurement strategy.
