## Summary

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is inviting tenders for a project titled "Blockhouse Experimental Area Vision and Audio Monitoring System," scheduled to take place in Oxfordshire. This procurement process is currently in the tender stage and is identified under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54. The objective is to design and implement a monitoring system for the LIBRTI project, involving the exposure of experimental setups to neutron sources. Key deadlines include the enquiry period ending on 3rd July 2026 and the tender submission period closing on 10th July 2026. The project has a budget of £30,000 and anticipates services related to audiovisual, data transmission, and research consultancy, under an open competition procurement method.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in audiovisual equipment, research consultancy, and data transmission systems to showcase their expertise in a high-technology environment. Companies with capabilities in developing robust monitoring systems for challenging conditions, such as exposure to gamma radiation, are well-positioned to compete. The criteria for selection will focus predominantly on technical experience (70% weightage), along with a smaller emphasis on price (30%). This procurement offers a lucrative window for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in a high-impact project, contributing to pioneering research in fusion power technology.

## Notice

The LIBRTI project aims to pave the way for fusion powerplant-scale tritium breeding through the exposure and study of experiment 'mock-ups' to a neutron source within the LIBRTI facility. A visual monitoring system, covering installation and configuration of the area during operational preparation, will support facility operations. This is also intended to monitor experimental campaigns, including movement, sound and temperature, where the equipment will be exposed to neutrons and gamma radiation. UKAEA is seeking a Feasibility Study and pre-conceptual design for Vision and Audible Monitoring Systems to monitor installations and campaigns inside the LIBRTI facility.
