What the notice says

UKAEA requires a solution for storing relatively small amounts of tritium. Usually, we use getter materials such as depleted Uranium and products have been purchased previously from known suppliers. What has been delivered has not been of high enough quality and we would like to understand what our options are and to make sure our specification is tight. Due to the nature of this project, there is currently no defined value for the project, and the value given is purely theoretical. The technical team would like to use this Pre Market Engagement Notice to understand what is available within the market to develop a robust specification for the future intended tender. A full scope of requirements can be seen in the attached documentation to this PMEN.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
