H3AT Tritium Plant SDS Getter Beds

Tender description

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) requires 7-off Depleted Uranium Getter Beds to be supplied into the Hydrogen 3 Advanced Technology facility at UKAEA's Culham Campus. The requirement includes design, manufacture, assembly, Factory Acceptance Testing, delivery, installation, Site Acceptance Testing, and commissioning. Due to the nature of this Restricted Procedure tender in terms of the transfer of information, which is subject to Export Control, the UKAEA needs to have in place the relevant Export Control Licence for any short listed bidder that is based outside of the UK before receipt of specified technical documents. Dependent upon the country in which the company is based, as detailed within the Invitation to Tender (ITT), there may be a need to apply to the UK Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) for the appropriate licence. Companies based outside of the UK are required to complete and sign the Bidder Export Control Regulations Compliance Declaration Form (BECRCDF), provided with the ITT. Failure to return this form, completed and signed, with your Selection Questionnaire will result in an immediate Fail. By signing the BECRCDF, shortlisted Suppliers accept that if they are invited to tender for this opportunity, UKAEA will confirm a date for application to the ECJU for the necessary appropriate licence and in the event that ECJU do not issue the necessary licence within 60 days of the application date that UKAEA reserves the right to remove the bidder from the Invitation to Tender Shortlist. The proposed form of contract is the NEC4 Engineering Construction Contract (ECC)) (option A), for a fixed price, which will include all aspects of the Scope of Works. There may also be the need for additional work not included in the Scope of Works which will be reimbursed, and bidders are asked to provide a schedule of rates. Bidders are also asked to provide rates for onward going maintenance support.
