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. UKAEA intend, after the engagement exercise, to issue tenders through the Find a Tender service (replacement to Tenders Electronic Daily) to procure services for design and provision of equipment through competitively tendered contracts.
