Situated in Calderbridge, Seascale, UKD1, this tender addresses multidisciplinary design and resource enhancement needs for works at the Repository Site. The procurement follows an open procedure, now in the award stage, and the framework is governed by public law under legal basis 32014L0024. AECOM Limited has been awarded the contract valued at £14,000,000, with the signing completed on 13th May 2025.
