## Summary

Nuclear Waste Services procured a lifecycle management service for a variety of tanks and tanker bodies operated by the Old Waste Management Group (OWMG) Yard at the Aldermaston site. The requirement covers radioactive waste treatment services and is categorised as a service contract. The recorded delivery locations are Aldermaston, Calder Bridge and the wider North West area of England, including the site associated with postcode CA20 1DB. The work is relevant to businesses providing specialist tank and tanker-body management, radioactive waste treatment, nuclear waste services, equipment handling, maintenance or associated operational support. It concerns the management of assets used in a nuclear and radioactive-waste environment rather than the supply of standard tanks or general waste collection services.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Nuclear Waste Services used a selective procedure to place a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 2 April 2026 at 12:00. Cyclife UK was awarded the contract on 15 September 2026 for £2,583,280.19 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 26 May 2031. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was handled as a single service procurement, with the published classification identifying radioactive waste treatment services. The recorded award is active and relates to the full tank and tanker-body lifecycle management service.

Although this contract has been awarded, it demonstrates sustained demand from Nuclear Waste Services for specialist lifecycle management of tanks and tanker bodies supporting radioactive waste operations. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in radioactive waste treatment and the safe management, maintenance and handling of varied tank and tanker-body assets. Experience of nuclear or similarly controlled industrial environments would be commercially relevant, alongside robust procedures for safety, contamination control, operational assurance, asset tracking and compliance. Suppliers would also need the capacity to deliver a long-running service across the relevant operational locations, coordinate site-based work and manage the full asset lifecycle rather than provide an isolated repair or disposal activity. Framework access and experience delivering public-sector nuclear services would strengthen competitiveness.
