Achievements and F4E Business Opportunities 7. ITER Business Forum th February : For the benefit of mankind ITER originated from the Geneva Superpower Summit in 1985 where Gorbachev and Reagan proposed international effort to develop fusion energy as an inexhaustible source of energy for the benefit of mankind 2006 (21/11): China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Russian Federation and the USA sign the ITER Agreement 2. ITER Genesis & actual participants World s biggest fusion energy research project & world s largest S&T cooperation endeavor 7 Parties: 28th February

4 2. ITER Aims & perspectives Demonstrate the scientific and Technological viability of controlled fusion for power production. Study and optimise plasma (heated gas) behaviour Produce about 500 MW of fusion power (Q>10) Demonstrate the technologies required for fusion for power stations Operate for about 20 years It is a milestones toward an industrial tokamak 28th February ITER The Machine 28th February

5 2. ITER Project Organization ITER Organization (IO), Cadarache, undertakes Planning/Design, reactor assembly (with QA, safety, licensing & schedule), & operational start (Testing+ Commissioning) of ITER device + few components (ex: He refrigerators) ITER France agency, Cadarache, is in charge of ground preparation, safety related questions on behalf of IO, & on-site staff welcoming 7 Domestic Agencies manage the operational procurements and budget relative to their contribution. The DAs deliver in-kind contribution to IO in the form of components, works & services Fusion for Energy (F4E) is the European Domestic Agency 28th February Agenda 1. Fusion Energy 2. ITER 3.

6 3. Fusion for Energy (F4E) Commitments 1. Europe s contribution / commitment to ITER which represents 45 % of the cost / value of ITER construction. Total capped budget : M ( 2008) EU + CH (Euratom) are involved on most of the 85 procurement packages shared with the 6 other parties +IO 2. Implementation of the Broader Approach Agreement between Europe and Japan. 3. Preparation of demonstration fusion reactors (DEMO) 28th February Fusion for Energy (F4E) Main Facts and Figures Joint Undertaking established in April 2007 for a period of 35 years Industrial & procurement agency 29 members: European Union states + Switzerland+ Euratom Headcount of roughly 350 people today Based in Barcelona Spain but also with an antenna in Garching (D) and in Cadarache (F). F4E manages 6,6G ( 2008) on behalf of EU 28th February

7 3. Fusion for Energy (F4E) Joint Teams Organization Each procedure is managed by a Technical Responsible Officer (TRO) and a Procurement Responsible Officer (PRO) Cross-functional teamwork, shared information & responsibilities The Joint Teams have the support of specialized group Legal and Budget officers Business Intelligence officers Quality officers 28th February Agenda 1.

8 4. F4E Contractual Process Contracting Principles Contracts have to comply with the principles of: transparency, proportionality, equal treatment and nondiscrimination No juste retour Best value for money is our policy => Design must follow budget with a strong cost and quality awareness with pragmatic risk assessment Tenders are opened to all European economic operators through fair competition but we may go worldwide if technically necessary We connect with other Domestic Agencies in order to share information on best practices and suppliers Strong cooperation between F4E and IO (and some Joint Tenders) 28th February F4E Contractual Process Procurement Procedures F4E contracts with organisations via: Grants through Calls for Proposals Procurement contracts through Calls for Tender Grants support R&D at 40% through specific contracts or Framework Partnership Agreements (FPA) Procurement contracts provide goods, works or services through: Open procedure : All interested economic operators can submit a full tender Restricted procedure 2 phases 1: Pre-selection following a Call for Expression of Interest 2: Call for Tender: only pre-selected companies may submit a tender. Competitive dialogue: For particularly complex contracts, collaboration with industry to clarify technical specifications Negotiated procedure : Only for contracts below Euro and in exceptional cases (justification required) 28th February
