Summary of the contracting process

This open tender procurement is currently at the tender stage, and submissions are due by 5th October 2020.

Located in Thurso, Caithness, industry categories include radioactive waste treatment and disposal services.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy sector, particularly those with expertise in radioactive waste management and compliance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as contracts above £25,000 will undergo mini-competition among the selected consultants. This framework could be especially beneficial for firms specialising in environmental consulting, regulatory compliance, and waste management, as it opens avenues for ongoing work over the contract's four-year duration.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Framework for the Provision of Letter of Compliance (LoC) Support Services

Notice Description

Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd (DSRL) (the Employer) is seeking to establish framework agreements to provide Letter of Compliance (LoC) support services to a maximum of 3 (three) consultants. The framework agreements will have a duration of up to four years (2+1+1) for the period November 2020 through to November 2024. The framework agreements are to run from November 2020 to November 2022 with the option to extend for a further 1 + 1 years. Any extension to the initial two year period will be based upon the continued requirement for the framework agreement and the individual performance of the consultant. In accordance with Scottish Government Higher Activity Waste Policy and the contractual arrangements with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), DSRL are required to produce LoC submissions for the packaging of its Higher Activity Waste (HAW) [intermediate level] and have them assessed by Radioactive Waste Management Ltd (RWM). Endorsement by RWM will ensure that any final waste packages produced by DSRL will then be suitable for long term above ground storage or future disposal. The estimated cumulative value of the contracts that may be awarded through these frameworks is PS750k. The maximum value of a package order awarded through the framework agreement is expected to be PS200k. Package orders above PS25k are expected to be subject to mini-competition. However, there will be the provision for the potential direct award of package orders up to a maximum of PS80k, if a number of criteria are met.
