## Summary

The procurement process is led by the Health & Safety Executive, which is responsible for the title "Provision of a review of current ONR guidance on management of ageing and degradation of SSCS." This process falls within the research and development services industry category, specifically addressing nuclear safety. The contract, valued at £113,722.10, commenced on 31 October 2018 and is set to conclude on 30 April 2019. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and the award was officially made on 26 October 2018.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, especially those with expertise in nuclear safety and risk management practices. Firms that specialise in creating and reviewing safety guidelines or have a background in ageing management of critical infrastructure would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. The engagement of skilled suppliers can significantly enhance the quality of guidance and standards developed for managing the safety of structures, systems, and components in high-hazard industries.

## Notice

A full and comprehensive understanding of the ageing effects on SSCs important to nuclear safety are the subject of many codes, standards and good practice guides used across high haard industries, including nuclear, as well as significant research investments. The basis of this project is to review current ONR guidance in the form of Safety Assessment Principles (SAPs) against established codes, regulations, codes of practice and best practice. The project outcome may influence ONR's basis of reference and understanding of ageing management practices, which may impact regulatory expectations on duty holders in addressing the risks posed by ageing of structures, systems and components important to safety through establishing suitable predictive, monitoring and management activities relevant to the lifecycle, as well as deploying counter measures for the most prevalent and consequential challenges.
