This project is in the planning stage and aims to repurpose space within the Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) at the Culham Campus in Abingdon, UKJ14. The scope includes a conceptual study for space repurposing, hazard identification, cost and schedule estimation, and a concept design review. The procurement communicates future notices as of 29th November 2024, with an estimated contract value of £170,000 GBP under a single-planned lot. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering services, particularly those with capabilities in handling hazardous materials and designing research spaces. The anticipated tasks focus on innovative design solutions and safety measures, making it well-suited for firms with a strong track record in complex industrial projects and a keen interest in advancing fusion research infrastructure. Participation in this tender could enhance business growth through involvement in a high-profile public project, leveraging comprehensive expertise within the UK supply chain. ## Notice "AGHS Refactor is a project with an overall aim to upskill UK industry to design, modify and operate tritium plans for fusion by leveraging full UK supply chain. UKAEA's Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) is designed to supply, recover, process and recirculate the hydrogen isotopes including tritium used by the Joint European Torus (JET). This Request For Information (RFI) scope concerns the safe re-purposing of space within the AGHS following de-commission of legacy AGHS equipment. Project outputs expected to be delivered by contractor include: * Conecptual AGHS space re-purposing study * Hazard identification - with a focus on safe construction while AGHS Plant is operational * Estimation of cost and schedule * Concept design review submitted to UKAEA for comment and review Specified contractor deliverables will be outlined by UKAEA at ITT submission.
