T/SP049/22 STEP Engineering Partner: Whole Plant Engineering Design and Delivery PIN 1

The current phase of the STEP programme (Tranche 1) concludes in April 2024 when, subject to approval, Tranche 2a will commence. This is the phase when STEP will develop from an embryonic programme with a concept design and a selected site, and contracted support; to a fully formed major programme bringing together and developing extensive industrial capabilities to deliver a full plant design, a viable supply chain and to seek the consents needed for construction. STEP is looking for an Engineering Partner that will be a full member of an Integrated Delivery Team and, in collaboration with the wider team and the STEP leadership, will develop, design and deliver the STEP prototype plant (SPP). The EP will also manage the Engineering supply chain, taking direct responsibility for some sourcing decisions and working with the SSPV leadership on more significant procurements.
