## Summary

The contracting authority for this tender is Radioactive Waste Management Ltd. The title of the procurement opportunity is "Development of Experimental Methodologies for the Measurement". It falls under the industry category of feasibility study, advisory service, and analysis. The locations for this procurement include various regions across the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is active, with a contract period starting from December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2025. The tender deadline is October 20, 2022.

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses in consultative engineering, construction services, and research and experimental development to compete. With a total value of £2,000,000 GBP, this open procedure tender allows SMEs to participate. The scope of work involves a programme focusing on the development of methodologies for radionuclide behaviour parameter measurement, catering to the UK-specific potential host rocks. Businesses interested in experimental methodologies and safety arguments related to radionuclide behaviour are well-suited to engage in this tender.

## Notice

This specification invites contractors to submit a targeted proposal for a three-staged programme of further work in experimental methodology development and approaches for radionuclide behaviour parameter measurement applicable to NWS's current knowledge gaps. At this stage, a proposal submitted in response to this Contract Technical Specification (CTS) should focus on Stage 1 of the work scope outlined below. A detailed, fully costed modular proposal for Stage 2 & 3 works is an anticipated output of Stage 1. The combined scope (Stages 1- 3) includes reviewing the global methodologies for acquiring site-specific radionuclide behaviour parameters, including development of a fully costed, modular work plan (Stage 1), and thereafter undertaking measurements to fill data gaps or to underpin safety arguments (Stage 2) and development of an optimised testing and analysis strategy (Stage 3), particularly in relation to relevant, UK-specific potential host rocks
