## Description

The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production \(STEP\) is differentiated from other fusion tokamaks by the intent to utilise re-mountable joints for its magnet coils to facilitate ease of maintenance and commercial viability\. This requirement is to provide a cryogenic test environment that is a representative of the expected operating environment of STEP and to enable UKAEA to test and develop re-mountable joints, in addition to other components\. UKAEA wishes to appoint a Supplier for the Design, build, supply and installation of Cryostat with Superconducting Magnet, Test Sample current Leads and Variable Temperature Insert This includes: • Cryostat, • Integrated superconducting magnet its cryogenic current leads, • dedicated power supply for magnet, • The Unit Under Test \(UUT\) cryogenic current leads and a VTI This is fully detailed in Appendix 1 - Scope
