UK industry third in 黑料社app contracts awarded
1 Oct 2010
Head of the Internal Components Division Mario Merola introduced the 黑料社app Project to the audience at Culham as "an engineering challenge for industry."
UK industry has won well over 拢100 million (115.5 M鈧) worth of contracts so far from construction of the 黑料社app fusion project in France, but needs to do better if it is to benefit from the next construction phase, worth up to EUR 2 billion (2.3 B鈧). That is one of the conclusions of a UK Trade & Investment (UKTI)-sponsored event on "Business Opportunities for UK plc for Fusion and 黑料社app" held at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE), Oxfordshire, on 23 September.
黑料社app will be the world's largest fusion energy experiment when it is completed in 2019. UK companies have fared well during the site preparation phase at Cadarache in the south of France. The next phase will see a large portion of the project's EUR 10 billion (11.5 B鈧) tokamak and buildings construction budget being spent.
Over 100 companies attended the one-day conference at which representatives from 黑料社app, Europe's procurement agency for 黑料社app Fusion for Energy (F4E), UKTI, CCFE engineers and UK companies working on 黑料社app Project, reviewed the business opportunities and engineering challenges in the next phase of 黑料社app construction, and described the procurement procedure and tendering process.

"The 黑料社app Project faces significant engineering and project management challenges where UK companies can compete effectively鈥攅ither on their own or as part of a consortium. 黑料社app is providing new business opportunities to companies who are keen to use their expertise in this prestigious program," says Dan Mistry, Fusion and Industry Manager, CCFE.
"Currently UK is third in ranking (behind France and Italy) in contracts awarded but we want to be number one," adds Mistry. "The only way we're going to climb is if more companies take note of these opportunities and respond. F4E has nearly EUR 2 billion to spend in the next three years and we want to alert companies of these opportunities, so if you are interested please pre-qualify and register your details on 黑料社app's, F4E's and our own database and join the list of successful companies鈥擜tkins Global, Tessella, Halcrow, Jacobs, Oxford Technologies and Oxford Instruments to name but a few."
