Notice Title

LLWR ESC Support Framework

Notice Description

A regulatory necessity for LLW Repository Ltd (LLWR) is to maintain the capacity and capability to support the implementation and ongoing development of the Environmental Safety Case (ESC). The objective of LLWR's ESC is to demonstrate to the Environment Agency (EA) and other stakeholders that it is safe to continue to dispose of waste at the Repository. LLWR is required by the EA to maintain a "live" ESC. This requirement covers both the implementation of the current safety case on site and also the capability to develop and produce major revisions to the current safety case. LLWR's ESC Team is supported by a number of contractors via the current multiple lot ESC Framework Agreement, which enables access to technical experts with the specialist knowledge to support the development of the safety case. A competitive tender is required to ensure continued access to specialist ESC resources. A detailed description of the Scope is set out in Appendix 4.

Some aspects of the work may be focussed on supporting the detailed design and construction of the site's closure engineering and future vaults. The work scope may include geological recording of borehole construction and excavations made on the LLWR site. The selected contractor will need to provide staff with the necessary qualifications, experience and expertise, and also availability to support programmes of work on the LLWR site, which is a nuclear licensed site. Additional information: This lot will result in a 4-year single-supplier framework

Peer Review

For a contractor to provide a group of experts, the Peer Review Group (PRG), with the necessary technical experience and expertise, and professional standing, to provide independent peer review of work relevant to the LLWR's ESC. It is noted that an important aspect of the work of the ESC will be supporting the detailed design and implementation of the closure engineering and future vaults. Potential contractors will need to propose an appropriate group of experts and have the necessary commitments from the experts or their employing organisations in place. Reports summarising the work of the independent peer review group will need to be produced, as well as reviews of documents, meetings, etc. Additional information: This lot will result in a 5-year single-supplier contract
