Integrated materials testing system for UKAEA with heating and controlled environment.
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is procuring an integrated materials testing system combining a mechanical load frame, ultra-high-temperature heating, and controlled environment (vacuum and inert gases) with synchronized diagnostics and data acquisition. The system is intended for testing materials under extreme conditions relevant to fusion energy research. The supplier must provide installation, commissioning, training, and maintenance services. The contract is open to all qualified suppliers, with no specific set-asides or mandatory certifications mentioned. The scale and duration are not specified, but the system is specialized and likely high-value.
