Designs are to be manufactured by the Contractor and must support and contain the process equipment whilst providing external process and Electrical, Control and Instrumentation (EC&I) connections.

The manufacturing, testing and delivery includes assembling all the process equipment fabricated/procured by the Contractor into completed permeators and PMRs for future installation by others into Gloveboxes. The Contractor/Supplier must undertake Factory Acceptance Testing to demonstrate the functionality of the permeator and PMR assemblies. Dedicated design reviews, and a full review of all design documentation shall be conducted by the Office of Chief Engineers (OCE) prior to any production to ensure the permeator and PMR assemblies meet the UKAEA requirements listed within the Tender pack. The Contractor/Supplier shall deliver the permeators and PMRs to Culham and complete Site Acceptance Testing, after which a third party will conduct the Installation, Integrated Testing, and commissioning with support from the Contractor/Supplier. Sufficient information shall be provided for inclusion within the technical file (LTQR) to support the overall conformity marking of the system.

The estimated duration of design, manufacturing, testing, and delivery is 22 months.
