Notice Title

Metallic Waste Treatment Services Framework 2024

Notice Description

Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), through its Waste Services line of business, provides a Metallic Waste Treatment Service (MWTS) to both NDA and non-NDA customers. The service was established with the primary aim of prolonging the life of the repository through diverting metallic waste away from disposal at the LLWR site to treatment providers with the capability of processing the metallic waste to enable it to be recycled into new products or conditioned for optimised disposal. In line with the UK Government's Solid LLW Strategy and the Waste Management Hierarchy, this provides a more sustainable solution and extends the life of the LLWR site by reducing the volume of waste requiring disposal. The procurement will deliver a contractual mechanism for the metallic waste treatment service. The current estimated maximum spend through the service is PS95M, although the service will formally be a zero-value agreement, with no spend guaranteed. The scope of the procurement is to manage the full metallic waste treatment lifecycle which could include the following: * On-site works, de-planting activities, and waste preparation. * Treatment of metallic waste in line with the waste management hierarchy and BAT. * Management of Primary and Secondary Waste for onward recycling and/or disposal. * Storage of metal pre and/or post treatment. * Transport. * Characterisation. * Packaging Provision. * Expert Support. The framework will be for use by organisations that either currently hold, or may in future enter into, a Waste Services Contract with NWS. These organisations that either currently hold, or may in future enter into, a Waste Services Contract with NWS, include private sector bodies, plus public sector bodies that fall into one or more of the following categories: 1) Any of the following and their future successors: (further details can be found in the attached document) 2) Those listed and maintained by the Government on their website at https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations or any replacement or updated web-link. 3) Those listed and maintained by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) at https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/uksectoraccounts/datasets/publicsectorclassificationguide or any replacement or updated web-link. 4) Those bodies in England, Wales or Northern Ireland which are within the scope of the definition of 'Contracting Authority' in regulation 2(1) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) and/or Schedule 1 PCR. The framework value is an estimate only and no guarantee can be given regarding the value or volume of work.
