## Summary

UK FUSION ENERGY LTD is procuring a specialist HVAC concept-level study for the Tokamak building planned at West Burton Power Station. The service will develop concept designs for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, providing the technical basis for the facility’s HVAC architecture and ventilation strategy. The findings will inform the wider building design, including the building layout, contamination control strategy, nuclear ventilation philosophy, and a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate for the HVAC plant and associated systems. This is a services contract covering feasibility, advisory, analysis and engineering design work, including building heating engineering and ventilation consultancy. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, at the West Burton Power Station project location.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 29 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 3 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, with one optional two-month extension available until 3 March 2027. The estimated value is £70,000 excluding VAT, or £84,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality, 20% commercial considerations and 10% social value. Electronic submission is allowed, and the contract is expected to run for two months with the extension option.

This opportunity suits HVAC engineering consultancies, building-services designers, ventilation specialists and feasibility-study providers able to develop concept-level designs and a coherent ventilation strategy for a complex Tokamak building. Relevant capability includes integrating HVAC architecture with building layout, contamination control and nuclear ventilation requirements, and producing a Rough Order of Magnitude estimate for plant and associated systems. Suppliers should be able to provide engineering analysis and advisory input that can inform later facility design decisions and demonstrate an outcome-focused approach. The buyer confirms that the requirement is suitable for SMEs. Bids may be submitted by an individual organisation or by a consortium led by a lead supplier, allowing complementary HVAC, ventilation and specialist engineering expertise to be combined.
