Frazer-Nash Consultancy is delighted to have been selected as a top UK supplier on a multi-million pound framework supporting fusion energy research to support future energy generation and security.
Frazer-Nash has secured a prestigious Tier 1 supplier position to the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) on the multi-supplier Engineering Design Services (EDS) framework.
The £9m framework – designed to support the development of a UK industrial supply capability - is a renewal of the framework launched in April 2020, where Frazer-Nash and our valued Tier 2 supply chain partners successfully delivered over £2M of work.
The 4 year framework will see Frazer-Nash and our supply chain partners providing the UKAEA with access to a broad range of specialist engineering and skills, spanning a number of technical areas, and will contribute to the UKAEA’s mission in developing fusion as a new source of clean energy for future power stations. Frazer-Nash will once again act as a responsible prime, and has assembled a supply chain, spanning academia, research organisations, SME’s and industry. Collectively, we can deliver the work discharged through the EDS framework and support the continued development and maturity of fusion enabling technologies and solutions.
Our valued Tier 2 supply chain partners are: Alten, Ansaldo Nuclear, Hatch, Lucideon, NIS Limited, NSG, NW Total Engineering Solutions, Oxford Sigma Limited, PDL Group, The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), The Welding Institute (TWI).
Frazer-Nash’s Fusion Energy business lead, Steve Lawler, said, “After a highly successful delivery record with UKAEA on the first iteration of EDS, I’m absolutely thrilled that Frazer-Nash has once again been selected to support the UKAEA through this latest iteration of the EDS framework. I’m delighted to have the valuable support from our fantastic supply chain partners. Collectively, we are ready and able to respond to the technical challenges discharged through this framework and we are very much looking forward to supporting UKAEA’s mission and providing the engineering solutions needed to support the realisation of fusion energy.”
Colette Broadwith, Strategic Procurement Business Partner for UKAEA, said, “This framework has enabled UKAEA to work collaboratively and with maximum efficiency with the fusion supply chain.
“By renewing it for another four years, UKAEA can continue to leverage the engineering and technical expertise of our industrial partners to help accelerate fusion energy’s commercialisation, for the benefit of all.”
