Description
This Procurement Project is to create a Framework for the delivery of future projects relating to the Fusion Futures programme. This Framework is designed for the Fusion Futures Industry Capability programme but not limited to it. There was a PIN published under PCR15 under EU-supply reference: 94938. The Notice can be found on Find a Tender, Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04d46b. This cannot be linked to this Tender due to technical issues with the e-sender therefore we are providing the information in this way. A UK1 - Pipeline notice was published under PA23. The Notice can be found on Find a Tender, Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-050427. This also cannot be linked to this Tender due to technical issues with the e-sender therefore we are providing the information in this way.
