H3AT- COTS Equipment (Valves, Filters and Instructions)

Description

UKAEA wishes to engage with potential equipment suppliers and SMEs for the supply of approximately 384 instruments. These components will be for use in several 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 engagement with suppliers to ensure there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements. The scope of work as defined in this PIN can be broken down into smaller packages depending on supplier feedback. However, UKAEA will aim to minimise the number of independent packages to simplify the tendering process 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.
