[DescrProcurement]

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is looking to procure a commercially available Plant Information System software suite and an associated services partner, to enable successful deployment and adoption of a system that meets the needs of the STEP Programme (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production).
The STEP programme aims to build on UK global leadership in fusion; deliver a prototype reactor by 2040, prove the viability of fusion as a technology for generating electricity .
A STEP Plant Information System is envisaged to provide a centralised repository for all Plant/Reactor information assets. The information backbone provided by such a system will record the ‘Digital Thread’, tracing relationships and origins between data sets, to capture the evolutionary design rationale and intent, of the fusion reactor definition, eventually leading to a 5D Building Information Model.
