Commercial tool
Establishes a framework
Lot LOT-0001. Design and Build Framework
Description
This Procurement Project is to create a Framework for the delivery of future projects relating to the Fusion Futures programme. This Framework is designed for the Fusion Futures Industry Capability programme but not limited to it.
Lot LOT-0002. Design & Build Framework Lot 2: Component Design, Build & System Integration
Description
This lot focuses on the design, manufacturing, and integration of high-performance components and systems for fusion applications. It includes the development of mechanical, electrical, and thermal components, their assembly into working subsystems, and their integration into larger operational frameworks. Given the extreme conditions of fusion environments, this work requires advanced materials, precision engineering, and compliance with stringent safety and performance standards.
Lot LOT-0003. Design & Build Framework Lot 3: Prototype & Rig Design and Build
Description
This lot focuses on the design, development, and testing of prototype systems and experimental rigs that support fusion research. It includes the creation of test beds for validating new technologies, experimental setups for component qualification, and prototype systems that could be scaled into operational fusion reactors. This category is crucial for bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical application in fusion energy development.
Lot LOT-0004. Design & Build Framework Lot 4: Design and Build Digital & Control Systems
Description
This lot focuses on the design, development, and integration of digital, IT, and control systems for fusion applications. It includes software development, real-time control frameworks, high-performance computing (HPC), automation, and advanced data processing for fusion reactor operations. These systems are crucial for optimizing plasma control, ensuring operational safety, and enabling remote monitoring of fusion experiments.
