The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract valued at £45,643.63, and a contract period commencing on 1st September 2020 and concluding on 31st March 2021. The training will be delivered at ONR offices located in Bootle, Merseyside, and aims to enhance understanding of reactive metals, considered problematic waste in the nuclear industry. The deadline for tender submissions was on 15th July 2020. This opportunity could foster significant growth for businesses specialising in training and consultancy services within the nuclear sector, particularly those with expertise in the behaviour and treatment of reactive metals. Companies that can effectively demonstrate their capability to deliver tailored training programmes and meet the specific needs outlined in the tender requirements will find this a prime opportunity to establish or strengthen partnerships with regulatory bodies and other stakeholders in the industry. ## Notice ONR is seeking to engage one of the Technical Support Contractors (TSC) appointed on Lot 2 of its Technical Support Framework. ONR's requirements relating to the delivery of a technical training course on reactive metals behaviour by the successful contractor. The specification covers both the development of the training materials in line with ONR requirements (stage 1) and the delivery at ONR offices in Bootle, Merseyside (United Kingdom) (stage 2). A report written by LLW Repository Ltd, Radioactive Waste Management and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority define reactive metals as 'problematic waste' within the nuclear industry. The term 'problematic' refers to waste that has difficult physical, chemical and radiological properties and may have no defined waste treatment or disposal route available or that could give rise to significant hazards (for example hydrogen) as part of that disposal route/treatment process. Examples include highly reactive metals that react with water, such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium; and metals that can react with cementitious grout to form Hydrogen, such as Aluminium and Magnox Fuel Element Debris (FED). However for the purpose of this training requirement, ONR considers that the reactive metals under consideration must include alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, post transition metals and actinides. There is therefore a requirement for the ONR to be suitably knowledgeable about reactive metals (alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, post transition metals and actinides), their behaviour under different conditions and how they can be treated to achieve passive conditions for long term storage within the nuclear industry. To this purpose ONR is seeking an underpinning training programme to allow the ONR the capability to consider and understand all reactive metals behaviour requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1cd1aa-7cdf-462e-8485-3e9ec63207d8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Aug 2020 | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,643 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £45,643 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTH & SAFETY EXECUTIVE | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 7HS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Linacre | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | FRAZER-NASH CONSULTANCY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Dec 2020 at 14:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1cd1aa-7cdf-462e-8485-3e9ec63207d8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e1cd1aa-7cdf-462e-8485-3e9ec63207d8 30th December 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/28e237cd-aab1-4433-aa39-be984c6e0602 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c887bb23-f722-45dd-8b02-67b1b6861d2a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3f5c7046-dafe-4f19-964f-041ebe72af89 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c6a4cfc6-9665-456c-9e98-c38fd6188dd9 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
