"riskDetails": "The safe retrieval and storage of Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) from the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo, one of the highest hazard facilities on the NDA estate, relies on bespoke 3m3 ILW boxes and their skips, which are integrated with existing legacy site infrastructure and designed to meet stringent safety, storage, transport and final disposal requirements. In previous contracts for the supply of 3m3 boxes, the difficulty of the required design materialised during, and jeopardised the performance of, those contracts. All Lot contracts in this Procurement will embed a New Product Introduction process which enables a phased approach to design and manufacturing in an attempt to address this known risk. However, this known risk could still jeopardise the performance of the contract and necessitate modifications to the Lot contracts."
