Provision of parts and spares to ensure that the Magnox fleet of DCICs are adequately covered as specified by the maintenance schedules. Typically items cover complete sets of protective lid screws, closure lid screws, closure lid O-ring seals, main O-ring seals, lubricants and container identification plates. Additionally, there is a requirement for the supply of paints for undertaking DCIC repairs using paint systems as specified by GNS. The technical consultancy associated with the use of DCICs remains an important element for ongoing Magnox Waste Programme business.

Procurement Information
Magnox Limited is intending to award the contract to GNS using the negotiated procedure without prior publication, pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Magnox Ltd considers that there are no other suppliers in the market who are able to offer approved DCICs and associated equipment as the IP for the DCIC designs, maintenance, inspection and operating specifications reside with GNS. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. Use of DCICs underpins Magnox waste retrieval projects and this award covers the remaining 'legacy' requirement. Magnox Ltd is therefore proposing to award a 10 year agreement to GNS, which will allow enough time to complete the waste retrieval programmes using DCICs. The values quoted within this VEAT notice are estimates, with the majority of the cost attributed to the additional 30 DCICs.
