## Summary

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is overseeing the procurement process for a High Voltage DC Tri-axial Cable. This tender falls under the category of electrical machinery and consumables and is situated in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. With the procurement method classified as open and a total gross amount of £600,000, the process has progressed through various stages. Initially active in September 2025, the tender aims to source 600 metres of cable to connect high-voltage DC power supplies for fusion experiments. Unfortunately, the process underwent cancellation by March 2026, as no responses were submitted, prompting a reconsideration of the procurement need without proceeding further.

The procurement initiative by the UK Atomic Energy Authority provides potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacture of insulated wires and cables, particularly those equipped for high-voltage applications. SMEs with capabilities in producing specialised electrical equipment may find this tender appealing, offering a chance to enter the arena of nuclear fusion technology. Companies with expertise in technical and quality-driven solutions can compete effectively, leveraging the weighting criteria favouring price at 65% and quality at 35%. Participation through electronic submission is encouraged and provides an avenue for firms to expand their footprint within the UK procurement landscape.
