Opportunity overview
The current MEN aims to gather information on relevant interested organisations (and their capabilities and expertise) that would be interested in contributing to the delivery of the second phase of the STEP programme (2025-2030) by producing ITER-grade tungsten (W) plate, K-doped W plate, and ASTM F288 W K-doped ‘nonsag’ W wire. UKIFS is planning to procure up to 1 tonne of ITER-grade tungsten (W) plate, K-doped W plate, and ASTM F288 W K-doped ‘nonsag’ W wire to cover the requirements of the second phase of the STEP programme. The required chemistry and property thresholds detailed in the material specifications in the document contained within this tender.
