This project, titled "WASTE DATA SYSTEM," falls under the industry category of database and operating software development services. The planning stage is currently underway, with key engagement deadlines set for 31 March 2025, and the procurement documents available for unrestricted access on the EU Supply portal. The contract is expected to start on 28 July 2025, and will initially run until 30 July 2029, with the potential for renewal. The project location is in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, and the procurement method follows legal guidelines established in UKPGA 2023/54. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in database management systems, software development, and industry-specific software solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly encouraged to participate. The move from a Microsoft Access-based inventory system to a more sophisticated and secure platform promises long-term collaboration opportunities, including ongoing support, maintenance, and potential future enhancements. Companies with experience in similar decommissioning projects and a demonstrated ability to provide scalable and secure data management solutions will find this tender particularly compelling. ## Notice JET Decommissioning and Repurposing Waste Data System. 3.1. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) are seeking a new Inventory System to track radioactive materials generated from site activities, especially in reference to radioactive materials produced from the decommissioning of the JET tokamak system. The expected complexity and amount of material arising from this decommissioning, as well as longevity concerns, have prompted aspirations to move away from the current Microsoft Access based waste inventory system. Hence a replacement system is required which provides increased capability and greater security in application support. The Preliminary Market engagement is seeking general information around experience, the platform, hosting, maintenance, pricing models and indicative costs. ### Planning Information The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders Please search using the unique tender ID: 97381 Engagement deadline 5pm 31/03/2025 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011355-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Apr 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Jul 2025 - 30 Jul 2029 | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY | | Locality | OXFORDSHIRE | | 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 - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48600000 - Database and operating software package - 48612000 - Database-management system - 72211000 - Programming services of systems and user software - 72212100 - Industry specific software development services - 72212600 - Database and operating software development services - 72212610 - Database software development services ## Release History - 26 Mar 2025 at 14:56 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011355-2025 - 24 Mar 2025 at 15:00 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010943-2025 - 19 Mar 2025 at 15:40 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010205-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011355-2025 26th March 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010943-2025 24th March 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010205-2025 19th March 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
