Summary of the contracting process

The National Nuclear Laboratory Limited is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the project titled "Reduction of secondary waste in nuclear fuel reprocessing". This initiative falls under the nuclear fuels industry category and aims to develop methods for safely cleaning contaminated solvents. The engagement period ends on 12th November 2020, with a potential closing date for applications set for mid to late November 2020. The project will take place in England, and details regarding the technical requirements and deployment restrictions will be shared during a planned webinar in November 2020.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing innovative solutions for cleaning contaminated solvents with minimal environmental impact. Organisations that specialise in nuclear waste management, chemical products, and research and development, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited to compete. Interested parties should engage with the Game Changers programme, providing applications that demonstrate their technical expertise to potentially influence future procurement exercises stemming from this initiative.

Notice Title

Reduction of secondary waste in nuclear fuel reprocessing

Notice Description

This PIN is to inform the supply chain that the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) is considering developing methods for cleaning contaminated solvents. Safe and efficient cleaning methods that retain the physical and chemical properties of the solvent without generating significant additional waste solid or liquid effluents are desired. By reducing this secondary waste (liquid effluent) it is envisaged that a reduction in additional plant infrastructure can be achieved. This challenge will be administered though the Game Changers programme and advertised on their website during October 2020. This document will provide a detailed overview of the challenge and NNL's technical requirements along with any deployment restrictions. A webinar will be held during November 2020 where NNL will further describe the challenge. Details of the webinar will be shared on the Game Changers website. Interested technology providers should complete and submit a Game Changers application via the Game Changers website www.gamechangers.technology. The challenge is open to any organisation who feel they can meet the technical requirements. The closing date for applications will be mid to end of November 2020. Interested organisations should note that the issue of this PIN may not result in a full procurement exercise being conducted. The outcome of the Game Changers Challenge will determine whether a full procurement exercise will follow. We would therefore encourage any organisation which has the capability, knowledge and experience in cleaning of contaminated solvents to respond to this PIN and visit the Game Changers website for further information on the upcoming Game Changers Challenge. If NNL progresses to a future procurement opportunity for the implementation of cleaning contaminated solvents, the learning gathered from the Game Changers technology study may be shared with all potential suppliers, noting that commercially sensitive information will not be included. Additional information: Please visit www.gamechangers.technology for further details.
