Section two: Object

two.1) Scope of the procurement

two.1.1) Title

Development of Electro-Magnetic Separation of Isotopes for Fusion Materials

Reference number

T/HS110/21

two.1.2) Main CPV code

  • 71340000 - Integrated engineering services

two.1.3) Type of contract

Services

two.1.4) Short description

UKAEA requires a design solution that will largely involve the assembly and integration of commercial solutions for each of the required elements. Subsequently, we envisage creating a prototype technology demonstrator to test and validate the capabilities and prove that the system (suitably scaled) can provide the necessary quality and throughput of isotopically tailored material to satisfy the needs of SPR and future commercial fusion.

two.1.5) Estimated total value

Value excluding VAT: £100,000

two.1.6) Information about lots

This contract is divided into lots: No

two.2) Description

two.2.2) Additional CPV code(s)

  • 24315100 - Heavy water, other isotopes and their compounds
  • 31640000 - Machines and apparatus with individual functions
  • 31643000 - Particle accelerators
  • 33158100 - Electromagnetic unit
  • 71335000 - Engineering studies

two.2.3) Place of performance

NUTS codes
