    "description": "For the purposes of this early market engagement, UKFE is seeking views from suppliers capable of providing embedded engineering and technical resources to support complex, safety-critical engineering programmes. The proposed framework is intended to provide access to specialist resource on a short- to medium-term basis, typically aligned to defined roles and project needs, rather than the delivery of discrete works packages. In all capability areas, UKFE is interested in understanding suppliers’ experience to operate within the UK regulatory, safety and assurance environment, and to provide suitably qualified and experienced personnel across a range of role seniorities. Detailed requirements will be refined following market engagement. Please see a further detailed scope within the attachment.\nFor more information about this opportunity, please visit the eSourcing portal at: \nhttps://ukfe.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Culham:-Engineering-services./KHNR372453\nTo respond to this opportunity, please click here: \nhttps://ukfe.delta-esourcing.com/respond/KHNR372453",
