two.1.4) Short description
UKAEA wishes to engage with potential glovebox manufacturers and suppliers for the provision of 20-off non-nuclear type gloveboxes and associated components to act as secondary containment for tritium process equipment. These gloveboxes will be utilised in a number of sub-systems that will make up the Tritium Plant located within the new H3AT Facility currently in construction on the UKAEA Culham site.
Through this process we are looking to open-up the engagement for suppliers with the aim of ensuring there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements.
After the engagement exercise, UKAEA intend to issue an Invitation to Tender through the EU Supply and Find a Tender portals (replacement to Tenders Electronic Daily) to procure services for design and provision of equipment through competitively tendered contracts.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
UKAEA wishes to engage with potential glovebox manufacturers and suppliers for the provision of 20-off non-nuclear type gloveboxes and associated components to act as secondary containment for tritium process equipment. These gloveboxes will be utilised in a number of sub-systems that will make up the Tritium Plant located within the new H3AT Facility currently in construction on the UKAEA Culham site.
The H3AT Facility Tritium Plant consists of the following sub-systems:
· Storage and Delivery System [SDS]
· Tokamak Vacuum Simulation [TVS]
· Hydrogen Chemical Purification System [HPS]
· Hydrogen Isotope Separation System (deemed collaborative contract development) [ISS]
· Water Detritiation System (deemed collaborative contract development) [WDS]
· Atmosphere Detritiation System [ADS]
· Chemical and Isotope Analysis of Gaseous Mixtures System [ANS]
· Radiological and Hazardous Gas Monitoring System [RGM]
The Facility is a tool of the H3AT Project. The missions of this project are:
· Supporting Delivery of fusion as a commercial power source
· Promoting industry, academia and research companies for work related to handling tritium and other radioactive isotopes
· Providing capability for training of next generation of scientists and engineers for development of the new power sources
Through this process we are looking to open-up the engagement for suppliers with the aim of ensuring there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements.
After the engagement exercise, UKAEA intend to issue an Invitation to Tender through the EU Supply and Find a Tender portals (replacement to Tenders Electronic Daily) to procure services for design and provision of equipment through competitively tendered contracts.
