Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: Design and Build of NB Power Supply Building (B 34) and NB High Voltage Power Supply Building (B 37), the Fast Discharge and Switching Networks Resistor Building (B 75) and Control Building (B 71)
The ITER project aims to build a fusion device twice the size of the largest current devices with the goal of demonstrating the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power.
The fusion reactor is being constructed in Europe, at Cadarache in the south of France. F4E is responsible for providing the infrastructure and for housing the various components necessary for the Tokamak as well as providing some equipment. All this work is divided up into Tender Batches (TB).
— design and build contract including design, construction, test and commissioning and Taking-Over by F4E of the neutral beam power supply buildings (buildings 34 and 37),
The baseline scope of the TB12 contract is design and build and includes design, construction, test and commissioning and taking-over by F4E of the following works:
1) PBS63/65 — B34 and B37 — neutral beam power supply buildings (B37 is safety relevant), including civil, M&E, finishing works, and surrounding area;
2) PBS 61/65: Area 30 – retention pits, foundations for transformers, segregation walls, embedded plates, base plates and associated M&E works;
3) PBS 61: Area 31 — foundations, embedded plates and base plates (All are Safety Relevant) for the SF6- IO equipment;
6) PBS 63/65 – B75 fast discharge and switching networks resistor building non-PIC/SR, design and build of the civil, M&E (services) and finishing works’ activities, and surrounding area;
7) PBS 62/65 — B71 control building (B71North — Non-PIC and B71 South — PIC), construction and execution design only of civil, all fire topics, mechanical, electrical, HVAC, C&I, architectural finishing works and surrounding area but excluding execution design for B71 South PIC;
— all PBS61 (including SR components and PIC connection to Tokamak Complex) in TB12 construction areas. Note that PBS 61 baseline works do not include PBS 61 works around buildings not to be built under the scope of the baseline, e.g. B71 Baseline,
— all PBS 65 out of the buildings in TB12 construction areas. Note that these PBS 65 baseline works do not include PBS 65 works around buildings not to be built under the scope of the baseline, e.g. B71 baseline,
— all PBS 26 in TB12 construction areas. Note that PBS 26 baseline works do not include PBS 26 works around buildings not to be built under the scope of the baseline, e.g. B71 baseline,
— all PBS 43 in TB12 construction areas. Note that PBS 43 baseline works do not include PBS 43 works around buildings not to be built under the scope of the baseline, e.g. B71 baseline;
The following options may be exercised in accordance with sub-clause 13.5 [Options] of the conditions of contract:
