Coverage: 182 active published awards; 175 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
UKAEA requires a 125kW fibre laser system for integration into the CHIMERA test facility.
This is to provide the capability for testing prototype fusion reactor components under “high heat flux”, in the region of 10s of MW/m2, or even “very high heat flux”, in the region of 100s of MW/m2. We require the ability to apply high heat flux for long periods or for short well-defined pulses. This functionality enables tests of prototype fusion reactor wall components and the ability to simulate certain fusion plasma extreme transient events, which are thought to be a high risk for the fusion programme including the now under-construction ITER experiment.

Procedure rationaleUKAEA issued a PIN (as referenced in this notice) for the requirement and received only one response from IPG. No other economic operator expressed interest in the PIN and UKAEA has concluded that the very specialist technical requirements may only be met by IPG.
We therefor have elected to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis of 32(2)b(ii). |
