Section two: Object
two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
MTF Test Rig — Magnet System
Reference number
T/TM019/19
two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 31630000 - Magnets
two.1.3) Type of contract
Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
UKAEA is building a test rig to test components for fusion power plants in fusion-relevant conditions. This test rig incorporates superconducting magnets to create the high static magnetic fields desirable for fusion relevant testing of the sample under test. Additionally, resistive coil(s) are oriented orthogonally to the superconducting pair, and apply a pulsed field in a direction normal to the static field.
The scope of supply of this notice shall be the design and manufacture of the complete magnet system for the test rig including power supplies.
Installation and acceptance tests for the complete magnet system on the UKAEA site (in the United Kingdom)will also be included in the scope of supply.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
UKAEA are currently carrying out conceptual design of a module test facility test rig (“MTF test rig”). The MTF test rig is a facility for prototype component validation under fusion relevant heat flux, thermal-hydraulic and electromagnetic conditions.
In essence, this is a testing machine to simulate conditions inside a tokamak fusion reactor. As such, we have a design requirement for a strong static magnetic field and a rapidly changing field.
The current concept design for the MTF test rig incorporates superconducting magnets to create the high static magnetic fields desirable for fusion-relevant testing of the sample under test (SUT). Additionally, resistive coil(s)are oriented orthogonally to the superconducting pair, and apply a pulsed field in a direction normal to the static field.
The scope of supply shall be the design and manufacture of the complete magnet system including power supplies. Installation and acceptance tests for the complete magnet system on the UKAEA site (in the United Kingdom) will also be included in the scope of supply.

VI.4.3)Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers.
This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the authority before a contract is entered into applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request. Additional debriefing and that information have to be provided within a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be sought from the contact named in this notice.
If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Any such action must be brought promptly.
(generally within 3 months).
