Description

UKAEA (on behalf of UKIFS – a special purpose vehicle to be established during the procurement process as the delivery body for STEP) is conducting this Procurement for an Engineering Partner (EP) and a Construction Partner (CP), who, together with a Fusion Partner (determined to be UKAEA), will bring together and develop extensive industrial capabilities to design and build a UK prototype fusion energy plant capable of delivering net-energy to the grid, and build a world-leading fusion delivery industry. The Procurement is divided into two lots: • Lot 1: Engineering Partner (EP) • Lot 2: Construction Partner (CP)

Lot Division

1 Engineering Partner (EP)
  • Value: £10B

The Engineering Partner’s (EP) primary responsibility will be to provide the capability to drive the integrated design of the STEP Prototype Plant (SPP), and to then manufacture that plant through a developing supply chain. This includes (but not be limited to) providing capabilities for 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 leading a supply chain which delivers the manufacture and assembly of the SPP components. See the procurement documents for further details.
2 Construction Partner
  • Value: £10B

The Construction Partner’s (CP) primary responsibility will be to collaboratively provide the capability to drive the integrated design of the overall layout, buildings, infrastructure, onsite and offsite facilities of the STEP Prototype Plant (SPP) to fulfil the support, enclosure and environmental requirements of the operational plant. The Construction Partner will then purchase, fabricate, deliver and install all elements of the designed facilities utilising existing and new supply chains, directly sourced or contracted resources. The CP’s responsibilities will include (but not be limited to) managing the overall health, safety, environment and security systems applicable to all parties engaged at the site. See the procurement documents for further details.
