Notice Information

Notice Title

Technical Development Area for planning & design

Notice Description

As RWM's siting process progresses to forming several Working Groups, it will be important to have the capability to work with stakeholders to rapidly develop site-specific concepts and designs for candidate sites for a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) in the communities with which it is engaged. A Technical Development Area (TDA) creates a dedicated space in which RWM can work collaboratively with its broad stakeholder base to develop and communicate plans and designs for delivering a GDF. This CTS seeks to attract a supply chain partner who can work with RWM to undertake the front-end planning and design work for a TDA. The TDA will be highly versatile and equipped with a range of state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary modelling and visualisation facilities that initiate enduring interactions with community leaders, regulators, parliamentarians, supply chain partners, academics and young people. It will enable stakeholders and RWM staff to rapidly understand how we will work with local communities to deliver a GDF safely, cost-effectively and with a solution that is highly sympathetic to the environmental constraints of specific sites. Site-specific designs will test RWM's conceptual GDF designs (described in the 2017 generic disposal system safety case) against 'real' parameters presented by the details of local geology and surface characteristics. A TDA will be impressive visually and technologically, and it will build trust in RWM as competent developer. As well as providing a facility in which RWM can develop bespoke designs and development concepts, the TDA will be an impressive space in which RWM can stimulate conversations with its many stakeholders. It will lead to much better understanding of why deep geological disposal represents the best solution to managing UK's higher activity waste legacy, and the role of GDF in Government's Clean Growth Initiative. The TDA will be designed to provide maximum versatility such that its limited space (up to 150m2) can be put to the widest range of uses.
