## Summary

The procurement process, conducted by UK Industrial Fusion Solutions Ltd, revolves around a contract titled "Plasma and Fuel Cycle Interface Modelling Enhancement and Data Integration". The tender focuses on improving interface modelling and data integration within the engineering sector. Based in Oxfordshire, the contracting authority provides a completion status for the procurement, with significant activities in the award and contract stages. The direct award approach was justified by the specialised nature of the work and the continuity required in technical expertise. This contract was awarded to TSM Engineering, with the contract period scheduled from 19th August 2025 to 2nd August 2026. Key deadlines include a planned future signature date on 18th August 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses skilled in engineering, scientific, and technical services, particularly those with expertise in plasma and fuel cycle systems. The focus on integrating advanced modelling techniques into existing infrastructure opens doors for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with innovative capabilities to provide unique solutions. Companies that have previously developed similar models or possess advanced technical knowledge in the field will find themselves well-positioned to contribute effectively to this project, fostering business growth and establishing stronger industry presence.

## Notice

The contract aims to improve plasma and fuel cycle interface modelling by incorporating plasma requirements, expanding interface complexity, and integrating various plasma modes and states. It also seeks to enhance the Design Structure Method (DSM) for modelling plasma control interfaces, with a focus on the plasma-fuel cycle interface.

### Procurement Information

The proposed direct award is justified due to the need to build on highly specialised DSM work previously conducted for the STEP plasma control systems. This next phase extends the same methods to the fuel cycle plasma interface, requiring continuity of technical knowledge. Additionally, the work enhances outputs from the original contract, refining plasma modelling interfaces and integrating them into STEP's executive data systems infrastructure developed by the same supplier.
