- Detail past work or prototypes related to decay‑heat measurement
- Identify any technical or regulatory limitations you foresee
- Confirm ability to work to nuclear‑safety standards (implicit)
- Submit the response by the deadline specified in the full tender documents
Key Tasks & Deliverables

How to Read This Tender
- 1Look for the ‘Purpose of the market research’ section – it tells you why UKAEA is gathering this information and what they will do with it
- 2Check the deadline and submission format early – missing the date or using the wrong template will disqualify you
- 3Note any references to security clearances or nuclear‑safety compliance – even if not listed as a formal requirement, they are expected for this type of work
- 4Read the evaluation criteria (if provided) to see whether UKAEA will score on experience, technical approach or innovation
- 5Keep an eye on any follow‑up stages – this notice is usually a pre‑qualification step before a full contract is offered
Tips for Small Businesses
- Highlight any niche expertise or innovative approaches you have – SMEs often stand out by showing specialised knowledge that larger firms may overlook
- If you lack full system capability, propose a partnership or subcontracting plan to cover missing pieces while still demonstrating overall competence
- Emphasise social value or local supply chain benefits – UK government tenders increasingly award points for community impact
