United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority
Cost Modelling STEP
£99,000 — awarded.
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
This sits in the upper-middle of the Software & IT Systems band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 30,286 valued Software & IT Systems tenders in our corpus.
This is an award notice only not a call to competition.
The UKAEA cost management team currently consists of 4 cost engineers.
The function is responsible for costing the STEP prototype and commercial fusion reactors.
Costing to date has been at top-down level and the aim is to transition to detailed bottom-up costing on sub-systems where the design reaches sufficient level of maturity.
Therefore, in the next 2 years, the fusion reactor costing will consist of both top-down and bottom-up costing.
Also, on suitable sub-systems and components, value engineering activities are planned.
A bespoke in-house solution is being used for the top-down model and a commercial external solution is being sought for the next steps of cost modelling that need to scale from the existing top-down to a full bottom-up cost model of the STEP prototype reactor as well as extrapolate to commercial fusion reactors.
The contract will be in place for 3 +1+ 1 Years - Total of 5 years
