H3AT Skid Manufacture

Description

UKAEA wishes to engage with potential prime contractors, SME’s, fabricators and assemblers for the fabrication, assembly and testing of 5-10 modular skid mounted assemblies and the fitout of 20 gloveboxes (gloveboxes to be free issued or provisioned by the contractor). Scope and quantity to be confirmed at ITT and is subject to preliminary and detailed engineering design phases. These units will make up a number of sub-systems that will form the Tritium Plant located within the new H3AT Facility currently in construction on the UKAEA Culham site. The units will generally comprise of equipment, valves, instrumentation and interconnecting pipework mounted into containment skids or in gloveboxes (gloveboxes to be tendered as a separate package). Skids will be required to accommodate equipment and piping in various sizes, approximate footprints of 0.5x0.5m up to 2.8x1.5m and heights 0.5-2.1m (to be confirmed). Through this process we are looking to open-up the engagement for suppliers with the aim of ensuring there is sufficient production capability and capacity to meet project timelines and design requirements. UKAEA intend, after the engagement exercise, to issue tenders through the Find a Tender service (replacement to Tenders Electronic Daily) to procure services for design and provision of equipment through competitively tendered contracts.
