## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is planning a procurement process with the title "Development and Testing of Magnet Insulators" in the services category. This project aims to identify and develop materials suitable for HTS magnet insulation systems on STEP, requiring materials suitable for challenging fusion environments. The procurement stage is "planned," with the future notice date set for 1st July 2024.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses providing technical inspection and testing services in the fusion research industry. Companies with expertise in developing materials for rigorous mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, as well as resistance to ionising radiation, are well-suited to compete for this tender from the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.

## Notice

This project aims to identify and develop materials suitable for HTS magnet insulation systems on STEP. This includes materials for turn-to-turn insulation, fixed and re-mountable joints insulation systems, quench heaters insulation and ground insulation. STEP requires materials that are suitable for use in challenging fusion environments, therefore testing requirements are likely to revolve around rigorous mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, and resistance to ionising radiation.
