This procurement involves the complete design, analysis, manufacture, assembly, Factory Acceptance Testing, delivery, Site Acceptance Testing, and support during installation and commissioning of a glovebox experiment intended for tritium analytics in breeder materials. The procurement will take place at the Culham Campus in Abingdon. The procurement stage is currently in planning, with the future notice date set for 18th November 2024. The procurement falls under the services category and is associated with several CPV classifications including radioactive materials, radio-isotopes, and laboratory services, among others. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in sectors such as engineering design, construction, and laboratory equipment manufacturing to expand their services and capabilities. Companies with expertise in designing and building complex engineering systems, particularly those involving safety compliance with tritium safety processes, will find this project particularly suited to their skills. The scope includes designing and constructing a specialised glovebox and transporting it to the UK's Culham Campus, thus presenting opportunities for firms specialising in manufacturing, welding, metalworking, and various installation services. Additionally, the requirement for proving conformity and maintenance documentation may benefit businesses with experience in regulatory compliance and technical documentation. ## Notice UKAEA would like to procure the design, analysis, manufacture, assembly, Factory Acceptance Testing, delivery, Site Acceptance Testing plus support during installation and commissioning of a glovebox experiment designed to prove out tritium analytics in breeder materials. The glovebox will be installed at the Culham Campus. The experiment will need to accurately meter a tritium gas stream, to understand the retained tritium in the breeder. The experiment will also need to design a sampling system to allow the breeder materials to be tested in off-line techniques, such as Liquid Scintillation Counters. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The scope of work for the THALIA Design &Build contract will include: Complete design of the THALIA Glovebox experiments, including reviews with UKAEA Engineering team to ensure compliance with the tritium safety processes Procurement of all the equipment required for THALIA Construction of the completed Glovebox This could be onsite at Culham if there are concerns over transporting the Glovebox in its completed state. Transportation of the Glovebox to Culham Campus It is expected that the supplier provides design documentation, maintenance schedules and conformity certificates with all equipment. Where applicable it is expected that equipment supplied to UKAEA is conformity assessed against all relevant legislative requirements and marked accordingly (UKCA marked). Any relevant analysis work under-taken to prove the conformity of the design will be shared with UKAEA. A Factory Acceptance Test will be witnessed by UKAEA staff prior to acceptance of the completed Glovebox experiment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037004-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 18 Nov 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 45 - Construction work - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09343000 - Radioactive materials - 09344000 - Radio-isotopes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 45120000 - Test drilling and boring work - 45255400 - Fabrication work - 45262670 - Metalworking - 45262680 - Welding - 51500000 - Installation services of machinery and equipment - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71323000 - Engineering-design services for industrial process and production - 71500000 - Construction-related services - 71900000 - Laboratory services ## Release History - 15 Nov 2024 at 12:22 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037004-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=87665&B=UKAEA - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
