This will be a zero value framework, and activities will be managed through Project Orders awarded as a call-off from the Framework, up to the indicated value. The scope of the IDEF is to undertake design and engineering work supporting: * Design works associated with asset refurbishment and projects relating to general infrastructure and operations including demolition / remediation activities. * The design activities for future waste receipt, management and disposal facilities at the Repository Site, including the design of future vaults and update of the leachate management system strategy Tendered in line with the Open Procedure (inclusive of pass/fail supplier questionnaires) Organisations are invited to submit their ITT responses via NWS's Atamis system ( https://atamis-2464.my.site.com/s/Welcome ), which can be accessed against Record Ref C14135 (Integrated Design & Engineering Framework) which is listed within the 'Find Opportunities' area on the portal.
