The procurement, currently in the planning stage, includes a Supplier Engagement Event on 10th December 2024, with the engagement end date set for 17th July 2025. This framework will cover various types of wastes, including soft/solid combustible/compactable wastes, oils, liquids, resins, and radioactively contaminated hazardous wastes. The tender is classified under industry categories such as Radioactive Waste Treatment Services, Radioactive Waste Storage Services, and related services. The total value for this procurement is projected at GBP 41,000,000, and the services will be provided primarily in the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically noted with postal code CA20 1DB.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, particularly those capable of handling radioactive waste through processes like Incineration or Supercompaction. Companies with comprehensive knowledge of the radioactive waste management lifecycle and the ability to provide extensive support and services will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that can offer optional treatment processes on top of the minimum requirements will have an added advantage. This procurement process underscores the potential for long-term contracts and steady partnerships with Nuclear Waste Services, making it a valuable opportunity for businesses looking to expand their operations within the specialised field of waste treatment and conditioning services.
