This initiative falls under the "services" category within the engineering industry and is focused in the UK, with specific delivery addresses extending to British Overseas Territories and Europe. The tender, valued at £36.5 million and requiring a minimum total of £14.9 million, is in the planning stage, with bids due by 12:00 on 11 January 2021. The procurement method employed is a selective (restricted) procedure, with the contract period anticipated to span from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2026. This procurement opportunity represents significant potential for businesses specialising in engineering consultancy, site investigation, and environmental services. Companies that offer transport systems consultancy, geological consultancy, or project management services would be particularly well-suited to respond to this tender. Engaging in this project could lead to fruitful partnerships with a government-backed initiative of paramount importance to environmental safety and management within the UK, thus contributing to broader business growth and expertise in the nuclear sector. ## Notice Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the UK Government's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and responsible for implementing geological disposal of higher activity radioactive wastes. Geological disposal involves placing radioactive waste deep underground in a suitable geological environment for the time required for the radioactivity associated with them to naturally reduce (further information is available on RWM's website). RWM will act as a developer of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for such waste and is responsible for ensuring that the siting, construction, operation and eventual closure of a GDF complies with, amongst other requirements, the UK's high standards of safety, security and environmental protection. Developing and constructing a GDF is one of the most important environmental projects of our generation and RWM is committed to engaging and working in partnership with communities and relevant local authorities in England and Wales for the purposes of identifying a suitable location for the development and operation of a GDF. This Contract Notice relates to establishing a number of frameworks for the provision of consultancy services to support RWM in the evaluation of potential sites - further details and RWM's Siting and Engagement Strategy is available on RWM's website via the link in Section I.1. The services required are divided into 9 Lots. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a1e8e1e-3d24-4a93-9cb2-955ba53c8340 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 11 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2021 - 31 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CTM PORTAL FOR THE NDA SHARED SERVICES ALLIANCE | | Locality | DIDCOT | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX11 0GD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Vale of White Horse | | Electoral ward | Hendreds | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 71242000 - Project and design preparation, estimation of costs - 71244000 - Calculation of costs, monitoring of costs - 71248000 - Supervision of project and documentation - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 71318000 - Advisory and consultative engineering services - 71320000 - Engineering design services - 71321100 - Construction economics services - 71335000 - Engineering studies - 71351220 - Geological consultancy services - 71510000 - Site-investigation services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79311410 - Economic impact assessment - 79315000 - Social research services - 79417000 - Safety consultancy services - 90521300 - Disposal of radioactive waste - 90521400 - Transport of radioactive waste - 90700000 - Environmental services - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services - 98113100 - Nuclear safety services ## Release History - 16 Dec 2020 at 09:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a1e8e1e-3d24-4a93-9cb2-955ba53c8340 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a1e8e1e-3d24-4a93-9cb2-955ba53c8340 16th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=13036&B=SELLAFIELD Additional data - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/3510 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/case-studies/shared-services-alliance-ssa-for-nuclear-decommissioning-estate ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
