Site Tour: Given the nature of the requirement and the complex sites, UKRI STFC will be holding a site tour for this requirement at the RAL site. It is strongly recommended that potential suppliers attend the site tour at RAL in order to gain complete clarity of the requirements and environment you would be working in. Due to the comparatively limited number of inspections required at DL, UKATC and Boulby, the site tour will only be conducted at RAL. All information needed to submit a bid in relation to these other sites is included within the tender documentation. Site tours at RAL will be held on Tuesday 18th October at 10:00 and Wednesday 19th October at 13:00 and will last no more than 2 hours. Suppliers need only attend one of these tours.

Please confirm your attendance no later than 16:00 on Friday 14th October.

Options: The estimated value of the opportunity over the potential 4 year duration is PS600,000 - PS700,000 excl. VAT (PS150,000 - PS175,000 excl. VAT per year) based on the anticipated number of days of inspections. To allow for the potential of additional assets, additional days of inspections and report writing and additional written schemes of examination, the maximum spend under the Contract over the potential 4 year duration is PS850,000 excl. VAT.

Renewal: The Contract duration shall be for an initial period of 3 years from the commencement of the Contract, with an option to extend for a further period of 1 year (3 + 1).
