Description of the procurement

UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, electric heater and Power controller hardware manufacturers for the supply of 6-off inline process heater for use with Tritium containing gas or liquid media, associated power controllers, embedded sensors and cabling. Quantities and detailed specifications are to be confirmed following preliminary and detailed design. These inline process heaters will be for use in a number of sub-systems that will make up the Tritium Plant located within the new H3AT Facility currently in construction on the UKAEA Culham site.
The current sub systems requiring Process Inline Heaters are:-
• Hydrogen Chemical Purification System [HPS]
• Water Detritiation System (deemed collaborative contract development) [WDS]
• Atmosphere Detritiation System [ADS]
(please note this list is subject to change and other sub systems may be included)
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.
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.
