## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is at the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "ASTRIA," which aims to develop a Centre of Excellence in Isotope Separation Systems. This tender process, referenced with ID T/NF185/24, is targeted at the engineering design services for industrial processes and production within the service category. The project location is Culham Campus in Abingdon, with the planned deployment of prototypes required for experimental work. Key dates include the future notice date of 18th November 2024. UKAEA seeks to engage potential partners globally to advance the development of isotope separation systems to model fuel cycles for various applications efficiently.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in engineering services, laboratory services, installation services for machinery and equipment, and construction-related services. Businesses adept in metalworking, welding, and working with radioactive materials and radio-isotopes would find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities. By participating, businesses can collaborate in groundbreaking nuclear research projects and demonstrate their expertise on a global stage, forging partnerships with a leading scientific authority and potentially unlocking further projects and advancements within the nuclear energy sector.

## Notice

UKAEA are looking to build a Centre of Excellence in Isotope Separation systems, pulling expertise from around the world to enable the creation of a technical development pathway. This would allow the partners to model a fuel cycle for any potential device, at all scales, to determine the most appropriate isotope separation system for that application. UKAEA would like to engage with potential partners for the design and build of prototype isotope separations system to allow the experimental work to be completed in a timely manor.
