## Summary

The Nuclear Waste Services has completed the awarding process for the "Waste Container and Associated Services Framework," a procurement effort aimed at providing various waste container types and associated services for handling radioactive waste. The contract, valued at £14,740,000, encompasses several lots including transportable ISO freight waste containers, UN approved transportable waste drums, soft sided packages for disposal, and NOVAPAK spares and repairs. The awarded suppliers include W.H. Davis Ltd, A W Stokes & Son (Drums) Ltd, Smartlift Bulk Packaging Ltd, and Bendalls Engineering Ltd. This project initiated through an open procurement procedure and spans from 7th September 2024 to 6th September 2028. It is classified under CPV codes “90521500 - Packaging of radioactive waste” and “90521510 - Packaging of low level nuclear waste,” with activities centred in the North West region of the United Kingdom, particularly in areas like Seascale, Cumbria (CA20 1DB).

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in manufacturing and supplying waste packaging solutions, particularly those dealing with radioactive materials. Large firms and SMEs alike can benefit from such frameworks, promoting the growth of specialised sectors. Businesses that excel in providing ISO standardised containers, UN approved drums, soft sided packaging, and maintenance or spare parts for such equipment could find significant avenues for growth through collaborations and partnerships. The inclusion of various lots allows for industry-specific firms to bid on segments most relevant to their expertise, enhancing their market presence and operational capacity in the nuclear waste management sector.
