In the context of a fusion future full of opportunity, but also complexity, UKAEA wishes to learn more about potential future energy landscapes and ecosystems. In such energy ecosystems, fusion might enter in various ways, perhaps replacing technologies existing at the time (e.g. due to obsolescence/end of life), perhaps augmenting other technologies to address the increasing demand or aiming at affordable solutions for specific supply needs and characteristics not readily met by other technologies. In particular, uses of fusion might expand beyond grid electricity. UKAEA is interested to see what potential characteristics of fusion plants might help or hinder fusion deployment, as this can inform UKAEA’s future strategy. ## CPV classification Energy and related services Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy Fusion equipment Electricity distribution and related services Other sources of energy supplies and distribution Energy-efficiency consultancy services Engineering-design services for industrial process and production Research services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-050d6a-2026-09-10T10:47:37+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-050d6a-2026-09-10T10:47:37+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
