Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "AWE-Mercury, Acids and Dump Driers," managed by Nuclear Waste Services, focuses on the treatment and disposal of radioactive waste. This contract falls under the category of radioactive waste treatment services and is situated in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender reached its completion on 23rd March 2026, followed by the award made to Tradebe Inutec, effective from 1st June 2026, with the contract lasting until 1st June 2029. This stage of the procurement is currently in the award phase, with Nuclear Waste Services as the buyer organisation. The total contract value is £500,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in radioactive waste treatment and disposal. Companies with expertise in handling mercury, acids, and dump driers, and those familiar with framework agreement processes, are well-suited to benefit. Although not geared explicitly towards SMEs or VCSEs, the substantial contract duration and value could support business growth through sustained service provision.
