## Summary

The UK Atomic Energy Authority, a central government public authority based in Oxfordshire, concluded an open procurement process titled "Fusion Concepts in Future Energy Landscapes". The procurement, classified under energy and related services, electricity management, and fusion equipment, led to a contract being awarded to AtkinsRéalis UK Ltd. This contract, valued at approximately £580,113, started on 18th September 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026, with a potential renewal of an additional year. The process aimed to assess future energy ecosystems involving fusion technologies and their potential applications. The contract was part of the UK Atomic Energy Authority's strategic planning to incorporate fusion into potential future energy solutions, hosted at the Culham Science Centre.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for companies specialising in energy solutions, engineering design, and energy-efficiency consultancy services. Organisations with expertise in developing advanced nuclear energy technologies and consultancy services on energy efficiency or grid infrastructure will find this tender particularly beneficial. The open procurement method employed by the UK Atomic Energy Authority offers a transparent and competitive platform for both large companies and SMEs to showcase their capabilities in innovating within the energy sector, potentially fostering relationships for future projects in the expanding fusion energy market.

## Notice

Fusion offers potential future energy abundance yet is at the same time highly challenging. In the context of a fusion future full of opportunity, but also complexity, UKAEA wishes to learn more about potential future energy landscapes and ecosystems. In such energy ecosystems, fusion might enter in various ways, perhaps replacing technologies existing at the time (e.g. due to obsolescence/end of life), perhaps augmenting other technologies to address the increasing demand or aiming at affordable solutions for specific supply needs and characteristics not readily met by other technologies. In particular, uses of fusion might expand beyond grid electricity. UKAEA is interested to see what potential characteristics of fusion plants might help or hinder fusion deployment, as this can inform UKAEA's future strategy.
