Find here the latest Procurement updates
We have published a quarterly update of our Procurement Pipeline which is now available on our Procurement Page.
This document allows the supply chain to view upcoming opportunities within our programme areas: Fusion Foundations, MAST-U, NFTP, STEP, UKAEA General and RACE.
If you have any questions or would like to talk further about upcoming opportunities, get in touch at supplychain@ukaea.uk.
UKAEA is currently undergoing a review of our Social Value Evaluation Criteria in order to standardise the tender response process and therefore make it easier for suppliers to submit bids for our opportunities. PPN 06/20 requires all above threshold procurements to include the Social Value model at a 10% weighting to ensure Social Value is generated through our commercial activities.
Included in all of our tenders is a set of evaluation criteria which you are scored against based on the Social Value model. We are in the process of constructing Social Value evaluation criteria templates for our internal procurement team, which will then be published with our tenders. We want this to ultimately make it absolutely clear what we require for a high score with regards to Social Value in a tender submission.
These templates will be bespoke for individual areas of spend such as works, services, goods and not common goods. If you would like a heads up on what these may look like, you may wish to attend our 9th Supplier's Event on the 8th December, where these will be showcased!
