The cables will replace existing assets and support the future electrical capacity, operation and reliability of the campus power distribution network. This is a supply contract for insulated high-voltage and power-distribution cabling, rather than construction or installation works. The requirement is delivered in the United Kingdom and is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist electrical suppliers able to provide 33 kV cable and associated cable products for major-site power infrastructure. This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. It is above the applicable threshold and is expected to use one lot. The estimated value is £250,000 including tax, in GBP. The indicative contract period is from 26 October 2026 to 31 December 2026. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled for 15 September 2026, and the buyer expects the next notice on that date. These are the buyer’s stated planning expectations, not tender deadlines. The procurement is for goods, with the UK Atomic Energy Authority acting as buyer. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers well placed to prepare are businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply 33 kV high-voltage cables, insulated wire and cable, power-distribution cables, connection cables or related cable products. Commercial relevance will depend on being able to provide cable for replacement electrical assets and future capacity requirements within a working power-distribution network. Specialist electrical-sector suppliers with the product range, technical understanding and supply capacity to support refurbishment of critical campus infrastructure should monitor the procurement as it develops. The buyer has not stated specific accreditations or qualification thresholds at this stage. ## Notice UKAEA is undertaking refurbishment works to the J5 electrical infrastructure to support the ongoing operation and reliability of the Culham Campus power distribution network. As part of these works, new 33 kV high-voltage cables are required to replace existing assets and support the future electrical capacity requirements of the site. ### Planning Information https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=109009&TID=100114064&B= ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086159-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Sep 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Oct 2026 - 31 Dec 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority | | Locality | OXFORDSHIRE | | Postcode area | 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 - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 31224400 - Connection cables - 31300000 - Insulated wire and cable - 31320000 - Power distribution cables - 31321300 - High-voltage cable - 44320000 - Cable and related products - 44321000 - Cable ## Release History - 10 Sep 2026 at 19:32 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086159-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086159-2026 10th September 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=109009&TID=100114064&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.
