What is being bought

Turbulent core transport in the relevant plasma conditions for STEP (a high beta burning ST) is likely to be dominated by electromagnetic turbulence: by micro-tearing modes (MTM) and kinetic ballooning modes (KBM). This is very different from the character of turbulence found in low β conventional aspect ratio tokamaks. The most advanced reduced core transport models available for integrated scenario modelling, have been constructed or tuned to model the transport arising from electrostatic turbulence. UKAEA are looking for support in the development & exploitation of reduced transport models for: Development of state-of-the-art reduced physics-based transport models, to improve the credibility of transport predictions for high beta burning plasmas that are likely to be dominated by transport from electromagnetic turbulence & MTMs. Running of advanced scenario simulation tools that incorporate these models for scenario predictions supporting STEP, and support &training of such tools.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research and development consultancy services (73200000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
