## Summary

The procurement process for the contract titled "ESC-L2-TO324 Near Field Experimental Programme" in the environmental services industry has been completed. The buying organisation, LLWR, based in Calderbridge, United Kingdom, initiated a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was on May 22, 2023, with a contract period starting on June 22, 2023, and ending on July 24, 2026.

This tender opportunity, awarded to the National Nuclear Laboratory, presents business growth potential for suppliers in the environmental services sector. Businesses well-suited to compete are those capable of providing services related to experimental programmes testing contaminant release processes and waste management. The contract value is £745,790 GBP, and the contract allows for the characterization of vault wastes and their degradation processes in partially saturated conditions.

## Notice

The high-level objectives of the experimental programme are to: 1. test the effects that partial saturation may have on the evolution of the LLWR near field and contaminant release processes, providing a data set to validate ESC models; 2. characterise the physical and chemical nature of the partially-saturated vault wastes and measure the effect of varying water levels in the disposal vaults on waste and degradation processes.
