Description

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is a Non-Departmental Public Body carrying out research into the potential of nuclear fusion as a future source of energy and manages the UK & European Fusion Programme through its research arm Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) in Oxfordshire.

The RACE business unit of UKAEA operates as part of the UK network of test sites for connected and autonomous vehicles (driverless cars). RACE is based at the Culham Science Centre, a 200-acre fenced site, with an extensive road network and several thousand users and this is where we host trials of vehicles, components and relevant infrastructure. We would now like to extend our testing capability through providing access to a working platform that can be used for various AV studies, including acceptance, human factors, use case development etc. We also want to be able to explore how autonomous vehicles might be used as part of a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) approach.
Tenderers should be aware that the UK Atomic Energy Authority will not proceed with awarding contract unless the tenderer meets the full scope of the requirements.
