Tender description
UKAEA wishes to engage with potential lead contractors, SME’s, manufacturers for the procurement and supply of Ultra-High Temperature Materials Testing equipment for the UKAEA. The goal of this procurement activity is to establish UK-unique Ultra-High Temperature Materials Testing equipment (UHT-MaT) for complex, representative mechanical testing under vacuum at ultra-high temperatures, 2,500+ °C for the following material families of interest: refractory metallic alloys, ceramics, and ceramic-matrix composites. UHT-MaT will be housed at UKAEA’s premises in Culham, Oxfordshire, UK by October 2027 at the latest. After the engagement exercise, and dependent on securing funding, 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.

About the buyer
The UK Atomic Energy Authority is the central government body behind the UK's fusion energy programmes and tenders every opportunity above a low-value threshold. Opportunities and notices are published on the Central Digital Platform, also known as Find a Tender. Bidders access all tender documents through EU Supply, the authority's centralised platform. Much of this procurement flows through government frameworks, including the Crown Commercial Service. A quarterly procurement pipeline gives visibility of larger forthcoming opportunities. Two published charters, on the supply chain and on social value, set out the authority's approach to its suppliers.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of the UK Atomic Energy Authority's contract awards have been in IT services, software and information systems and industrial machinery.
