Following our announcement on 1 August 2025 that Frazer-Nash Consultancy had secured a tier one supplier role on the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Embedded Engineering Resource Framework (EERF) we are proud to announce that we have been awarded a supplier role on the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA)’s Design and Build (D&B) framework.
The multi-supplier framework is valued at up to 9.5 million GBP and is set to run for 12 months. Our work will support:
- Lot 2: Component Design, Build & System Integration - Operating in fusion environments demands advanced materials, precision engineering, and rigorous adherence to safety and performance standards. Our work will centre on the design, manufacture, and integration of high-performance components and systems for fusion applications. It will encompass mechanical, electrical, and thermal elements—assembled into functional subsystems and integrated into broader operational architectures.
- Lot 3: Prototype & Rig Design and Build - Essential for translating theoretical innovation into practical, deployable solutions, our work will support the development and testing of prototype systems and experimental rigs that underpin fusion research. It includes the creation of test beds for technology validation, experimental setups for component qualification, and scalable prototype systems that pave the way for future fusion reactors.
Renowned for building expert teams and managing complex partnerships, we have assembled a diverse and high-calibre supply chain to support delivery on this framework. Each bringing specialist capability and capacity, our network includes: ASTM, BDP, Brown & Holmes, Buttimer Engineering, Hutchinson Engineering, Oxford Sigma, J B Engineering (Hatton), MTC, NIS, Lucideon, Bendalls Engineering, TWI, Unipart, and M5Tec.
Steve Lawler, Fusion Energy Market Lead at Frazer-Nash, said: “Frazer-Nash is proud to be doing our bit to support the national initiative to deliver commercialised fusion energy. We know that this will require practical, real-world innovative solutions which are integrated and deployed safely. This expertise is at the heart of Frazer-Nash’s capability as a trusted world-leading technical consultancy.”
“This framework also epitomises the ethos of our renowned capability in advanced manufacturing: uniting deep expertise and broad capability to tackle some of the most demanding manufacturing engineering challenges of our time. Our collaborative model offers clients a one-stop solution, accelerating delivery and enabling the wider UK manufacturing sector to share in these opportunities.”
