This tender is currently at the planning stage, with a significant focus on site-specific strategies for decommissioning 12 nuclear licensed sites in the UK. Key dates include an engagement end date on 20 October 2020, and a supply chain engagement webinar scheduled for the same day, aimed at discussing how suppliers can effectively support the new strategy. The relevant industry category includes decommissioning services and related fields such as dismantling works, environmental monitoring, and project management consultancy services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in decommissioning services, environmental remediation, and innovative technological solutions. Suppliers, whether large or small, are encouraged to participate and share their ideas on collaborative approaches to enhance value for the UK taxpayer whilst adhering to safety and environmental standards. The upcoming webinar will provide an excellent platform for networking and discussing potential partnerships, especially benefiting companies with expertise in waste management, construction engineering, and project execution in decommissioning contexts. ## Notice Following the announcement by the NDA of a change of strategy in the approach to decommissioning the Magnox sites, Magnox is seeking early engagement with suppliers on how they can support delivery of this revised strategy. Magnox is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), a non-departmental Government organisation, which is responsible for the decommissioning and remediation of 12 nuclear licensed sites. These include 10 Magnox reactor sites plus the Harwell and Winfrith research sites. The Magnox reactor sites are all now defueled and at various stages in their decommissioning journey. The Magnox mission is currently estimated to cost ~PS20 billion and will take decades to complete. The NDA has announced its intention to change the current strategy for decommissioning the Magnox reactor sites from blanket deferral to site-specific strategies that take into account the unique features of each site. The new programme will start at the Trawsfynydd Site, with the intent to bring forward dismantling of the two reactors. Site-specific strategies for the other Magnox reactor sites will be developed over the next 12 to 18 months. Magnox is now looking for early engagement on how the supply chain can best support delivery of its mission in line with the new strategy. We would like to hear from suppliers, large and small on how, through working collaboratively, we can deliver greater value and efficiency for the UK taxpayer while maintaining the highest standards of safety and environmental performance. We are interested in innovative solutions, technology, partnering arrangements, delivery models etc. which will enable major project and programme delivery and site remediation. Magnox will be holding a supply chain engagement webinar on 20 October 2020 to explain the key challenges and requirements of the new strategy. Companies are invited to register for the event at https://bit.ly/3gW0ClS. Following the event, Magnox would like to hold 1:1 meetings with individual companies who would like to share their ideas on how we can deliver the mission safer, sooner and at better value. Further details on the arrangements for the 1:1 meetings will be provided during the webinar.
