Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Waste Services Limited is seeking to engage with suppliers for the provision of criticality safety services. This tender falls under the nuclear safety services industry category and includes work related to various types of waste, such as low level, intermediate level, and high level waste, as well as spent fuels, uranium, and plutonium. The contract is intended to support the ongoing and evolving government disposal facilities, including the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). The procurement process is in the Tender stage, which started on 15 October 2024 with a closing date for submissions on 14 November 2024. The contract period is expected to run from 6 January 2025 to 31 December 2026, and the services will need to be delivered to multiple locations, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and other international regions. This procurement will be conducted through an open procedure above the threshold and is valued at £4.5 million.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in nuclear safety services, particularly those with experience in handling criticality safety cases and waste disposal. The contract aims to support a comprehensive safety program, reflecting an ongoing need for specialised knowledge and expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate. Companies that can contribute innovative solutions and robust safety protocols are well-suited to compete for this project, which promises substantive potential for business growth and long-term engagement in supporting national and international nuclear waste management initiatives.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Criticality Safety Services

Notice Description

The NWS criticality safety programme covers all materials currently considered in the inventory that may require disposal in any of the facilities (LLWR, GDF or other options). This includes low level waste (LLW), intermediate level waste (ILW), high level waste (HLW), spent fuels, uranium (particularly depleted, natural and low enriched uranium, DNLEU) and plutonium. NWS (and predecessor organisations) has commissioned a significant amount of work previously to build the knowledgebase in this area, again with a significant focus on the GDF disposal needs. However, the GDF programme is ongoing and continuous review and update of other disposal options is undertaken and therefore further criticality safety work will be required to continue to support the respective safety cases. To support the delivery of criticality safety scope, NWS wish to establish a contract for the provision of criticality safety services.
