This procurement falls under the industry category of IT services, specifically focusing on software development and support. Currently, the procurement stage is active and tagged as a tender, with an open procurement method. Interested parties must submit their proposals by the 27th of July, 2026. The tender encompasses several lots focusing on different case studies related to fusion energy and offers significant opportunities for IT service providers with industry-specific software development capabilities. This tender represents a strategic opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in industry-specific IT service provision and software development to grow their market presence by collaborating on innovative simulations for fusion energy applications. Companies that can provide high-quality technical solutions aligned with the fusion energy project requirements will find this procurement beneficial for expanding their expertise and portfolio. The involvement in cutting-edge research projects, such as those undertaken by UKAEA, could position businesses favourably within the advanced energy sector. With a contract period starting September 2026 and ending March 2027, this open procedure allows for competitive participation with a focus on technical, quality, and social value criteria. ## Notice Industry Simulation Software for Fusion is a multi year rolling project aiming to define Fusion relevant analysis and simulation case studies and use them as a formal basis to engage industry for evaluation of their simulation software capability and identify development needs. The case studies will span the full range of domains relevant to realisation of fusion as an energy source, with a mixture of single and multi-domain scenarios and involving use of a variety of methods and techniques. ### Lot Information Lot 1: Case Study 9 Topology Optimisation of Heat Transfer to Coolant Lot 2: Case Study 10 Electromagnetic Sub-modelling Lot 3: Case Study 11 Paschen Breakdown Simulation Lot 4: Case Study 12 Mechanical Analysis of a High-temperature Lot 5: Case Study 13 Coupled Magnetohydrodynamic and Thermal Simulation of a Breeder Blanket-Inspired Test Piece ### Planning Information https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=104143&TID=100109315&B= ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061842-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | 24 Apr 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Sep 2026 - 19 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £450,500 | | Lots value | £450,500 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | 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 - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72212100 - Industry specific software development services ## Release History - 1 Jul 2026 at 14:01 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061842-2026 - 27 Mar 2026 at 12:00 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028455-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061842-2026 1st July 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028455-2026 27th March 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=104143&TID=100109315&B= - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=105967&TID100111086&B= - 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.
