Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) aims to establish Integration and Design Development Partners (IDDP), Major Permissions Delivery Partner (MPDP), and Site Characterisation Delivery Partners (SCDP) for the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) programme. This tender is currently in the planning stage, with an active status and estimated total value of £1.275 billion. An initial supply chain event is scheduled for 7th October 2021 at the VOX venue in Birmingham, with a registration deadline of 24th September 2021. Interested organisations are invited to engage with RWM to discuss the project's nuances and requirements so that procurement activities can commence in 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering, environmental assessments, and construction services, particularly those with capabilities in design development and project management. Given the complexity and scale of the GDF programme, companies specialising in civil engineering, environmental consultancy, and site characterisation are particularly well-suited to participate. The collaborative nature of this initiative suggests that those capable of forming alliancing arrangements and demonstrating expertise within the nuclear decommissioning sector may excel in this procurement process.

This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition. It is a call for market engagement ahead of formal procurement activities starting in 2022, which will be the subject of a further PIN notice. The IDDP Contract(s) will likely consist of partners with a global and national reach, forming alliancing type arrangements to deliver an integrated organisation and programme, design development and project management / project controls scope during the identified contract period. The MPDP Contract will likely consist of a partner with a local and national reach to deliver the RWM key permissions and consents relating to commencing site characterisation and borehole drilling activity. The SCDP Contracts will likely consist of partners with a local and national reach to deliver the full scope surrounding the site characterisation projects across the various communities engaged on the GDF programme. SCDP and IDDP share an alignment in scope, and therefore RWM wish to engage the market to understand how the interested parties can deliver these works with the most effective supply chain strategy. The specific details of these works summarised above are detailed in the attached document to this PIN notice. A GDF is a highly engineered facility constructed deep underground and will consist of a series of vaults and tunnels where radioactive waste can be disposed of safely, securely and permanently. RWM will deliver this vital programme through a community consent-based process, working in close partnership with communities, building trust for the long-term and ensuring a GDF supports local interests and priorities (for more on GDF: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/why-underground). The GDF Programme is split into six Tranches: * Tranche 1 Policy formation and launch of the siting process (complete) * Tranche 2 Community engagement and site evaluation project (plus other critical activities to prepare for Tranche 3) * Tranche 3 The GDF Development Stage - the focus of this market engagement * Tranche 4 Surface and subsurface construction and commissioning of first waste emplacement * Tranche 5 Operations and ongoing underground development / construction * Tranche 6 This tranche deals with the decommissioning and closure of the site after last waste emplacement (after +100 years of waste emplacement operations). More detailed information for the Prior Information Notice can be viewed on the Sellafield Ltd (eu-supply.com) site or at UK Governments Find-A-Tender service, which can be viewed through the following link Find a Tender (find-tender.service.gov.uk) RWM will hold the initial supply chain event on the 7th October 2021, the event will be 'in person' at the VOX venue, in Birmingham.
