The current phase of the STEP programme (Tranche 1) concludes in April 2024 when, subject to approval, Tranche 2a will commence. This is the phase when STEP will develop from an embryonic programme with a concept design and a selected site, and contracted support; to a fully formed major programme bringing together and developing extensive industrial capabilities to deliver a full plant design, a viable supply chain and to seek the consents needed for construction.
To enable delivery of Tranche 2a and beyond, UKAEA proposes to establish an appropriate programme leadership capability, potentially a new Special Purpose Vehicle (subject to approvals), which will establish an integrated delivery team with three strategic partners; an engineering partner (EP) (via this procurement), a construction partner (CP) (via a separate procurement) and a Fusion partner (FP) (already defined to be UKAEA). This team will work collaboratively, under joint incentivisation mechanisms to be developed. These partners will not only be core to delivery of the programme, but will secure market-leading experience and knowledge. Proprietary Value, including IP, is intended to be developed across all participating organisations.
The EP will be a full member of the Integrated Delivery Team and, in collaboration with the wider team and the STEP leadership, will develop, design and deliver the STEP prototype plant (SPP). The EP will also manage the Engineering supply chain, taking direct responsibility for some sourcing decisions and working with the SSPV leadership on more significant procurements.
The EP will work hand in hand with the other parts of the STEP delivery team to drive the integrated design of the STEP plant. This includes management of all engineering data, responsibility for the detailed design of SPP systems, equipment and components and contracting through the engineering supply chain. The EP will be responsible for manufacture and assembly of the plant components and will work with the Construction Partner to ensure the integrated design of key facilities to support overall operations of the SPP
