## Summary

The procurement process, titled "Engineering Feasibility Studies," is being conducted by the CTM Portal for the NDA Shared Services Alliance, focusing on consultative engineering and construction services. The tender has concluded, with the award date set for 18 March 2021. The contractual period commenced on 12 April 2021 and will extend until 11 April 2024. The procurement was executed through an open procedure, with an awarded contract valued at £3,000,000, aimed at developing safety cases and site-specific designs for a Generic Disposal Facility (GDF) within the UK, particularly relevant to geological assessments in various environments.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering consultancy and environmental safety, particularly those with experience in nuclear projects. Suitable candidates include SMEs that can offer innovative solutions or services aligned with the safety and construction requirements of GDFs. Competing firms should possess expertise in technical research, requirements management, and safety management to effectively contribute to the ongoing development of nuclear disposal systems.

## Notice

RWM maintains a generic Disposal System Safety Case (generic DSSC), which is based on illustrative concepts and designs adopted from a range of international programmes. Developing illustrative designs has helped to understand how HAW disposal could be carried out in different geological environments, how safety can be addressed in all phases of development, how long it might take to develop a GDF, and what a GDF is likely to cost. As the process for siting a GDF advances, RWM will need to develop site-specific conceptual designs, integrating nuclear, environmental and conventional safety, as well as requirements management, technical research and many of the other key disciplines at RWM.
