Tender description
Fusion offers potential future energy abundance yet is at the same time highly challenging. In the context of a fusion future full of opportunity, but also complexity, UKAEA wishes to learn more about potential future energy landscapes and ecosystems. In such energy ecosystems, fusion might enter in various ways, perhaps replacing technologies existing at the time (e.g. due to obsolescence/end of life), perhaps augmenting other technologies to address the increasing demand or aiming at affordable solutions for specific supply needs and characteristics not readily met by other technologies. In particular, uses of fusion might expand beyond grid electricity. UKAEA is interested to see what potential characteristics of fusion plants might help or hinder fusion deployment, as this can inform UKAEA’s future strategy.

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.
