## Summary

The NATIONAL NUCLEAR LABORATORY LIMITED is seeking support for a project titled "Fire Assessment Support to MoD," which falls under the nuclear safety services industry category. The tender process is currently at the award stage, with the contract period running from 1st March 2022 to 9th August 2022. The procurement method employed was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The project has a budget of £37,194.02, and the procurement process concluded on 17th December 2021.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in risk or hazard assessment, particularly those with expertise in nuclear safety services. Companies that can demonstrate capability in fire assessment and operational safety related to nuclear handling are well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with the NATIONAL NUCLEAR LABORATORY could lead to further projects, establishing long-term partnerships within the nuclear sector.

## Notice

The project is tasked with the receipt of two flasks (the single module flask (SMF) and the neutron source container (NSC)) into an Active Handling Facility at NNL Windscale. The flasks will contain MOD reactor fuel for post irradiation examination (PIE). Unlike most fuel received into the facility this fuel must be horizontally posted into the cave system. Such imports have not been undertaken for almost a decade and a new import process is being developed. As part of the design process, fault identification has identified the need for an assessment of the possible impact of a fire on the operations being undertaken.
