Title attributed to the contract: STEP WP1 - Engineering Design Information Management (EDIM) Review & Report
Description:
The Client (UKAEA) seeks to modernise and provide innovation for its Engineering Information Management Strategy for the next decade. This work will be used to inform and influence the STEP project. STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) is the UK’s study into the feasibility of building a power producing plant using nuclear fusion. The successful Consultant(s) will be selected by the Client to be members of a consortium that produces technological roadmaps that define key engineering technology areas that should be exploited on a 5-10 year timeframe. It should be noted that the Client is limited to an aggregated contract value of £140,000 and where possible it will be in the interest of the Client to select a balance of representations for the consortium. Engineering information is loosely defined as: Information generated post concept design as a result of design progressing and maturing. This information required is analogous to the information generated using a BIM approach. Using BIM as a starting point the Client wishes to roadmap to future breakthrough use-age cases for both BIM and digital twinning. This work has a key interface with the Digital Engineering Strategy issued to market previously (T-VT066-19 - STEP WP1 - Production of Roadmap). As a starting point, the Client has posed the following questions: What might a breakthrough use case of BIM/IM look like for STEP? What might a breakthrough use case of digital twinning look for STEP? The output of this work will be used to inform: The STEP project and will influence the Digital Engineering Strategy. The wider engineering endeavours of UKAEA in supporting fusion development.
