## Summary

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is initiating a public procurement process for a project titled "Scroll Pump Tritium Testing". This procurement falls under the goods category, with additional services, and is supported by UK legislation (UKPGA 2023/54). The contract involves building and hosting a test rig for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) pumps to handle tritium, located in the region of Oxfordshire, UK. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement milestone set for 20th July 2026. The tender is anticipated to progress, with a future notice date of 27th August 2026. The contract's estimated gross value is £150,000, with a net value of £125,000, suggesting significant investment and the opportunity for SMEs to participate from September 2026 to March 2027.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in plant engineering design services, pump manufacturing, and integrated engineering services, given the technical nature of the project and the focus on tritium handling. Enterprises specialising in these areas, specifically those capable of building and hosting test rigs compliant with safety regulations, are well-suited to excel in this competitive procurement process. Additionally, the project encourages participation from SMEs, highlighting a potential growth avenue for smaller firms looking to expand their governmental contracts portfolio. Business growth can be facilitated by leveraging participation in this high-value central government contract managed by a notable public authority, the UKAEA.

## Notice

UKAEA wishes to engage with supply chain to build and host a test rig for COTS pumps with a defined quantity of tritium (40 GBq), and subsequent post-operation testing of the wetted materials, specifically PTFE.
