[DescrShort]
RACE is developing the DEMO Remote Maintenance Test Facility (RMTF), which is
intended to mitigate remote handling risks in the DEMO tokamak reactor project and to
advance RACE’s understanding of handling blanket segments – heavy, flexible payloads
lining the inside of the reactor vessel.
The programme of work for the RMTF will involve the development and subsequent
integration of a number of test rigs delivering a range of DEMO relevant capabilities.
The TR0 Modular Integration Work Cell (the subject of this procurement specification,
henceforth referred to as “TR0”) has been commissioned as a first step in understanding
the performance of robotic systems when handling flexible payloads. TR0 will facilitate the
development of control algorithms and will help to inform (and therefore de-risk) the design
of subsequent RMTF test rigs.

VI.4.3)Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers.
This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the authority before a contract is entered into applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request. Additional debriefing and that information have to be provided within a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be sought from the contact named in this notice.
If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Any such action must be brought promptly.
