This contract is classified under research and development services, and is located in Seascale, England. The tender period ends on 1st July 2019, with a contract period set to commence on 8th July 2019 and concluding on 31st March 2020. The total contract value is estimated between £125,000 and £175,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses providing consultancy and technical services in the environmental and geosciences sectors. Companies specialising in groundwater modelling, data processing, and environmental consultancy, especially those that are SMEs or VCSEs, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Winning this tender could enhance their capabilities and visibility within the public sector, potentially leading to further contracts in related fields. ## Notice The purpose of this CTS is to provide support and technical advice to RWM as the groundwater flow and contaminant transport activities described in Section 1 are carried out using PFLOTRAN. This advice is expected to include: * The theory of groundwater flow and contaminant transport modelling (including chemistry, heat and salt transport, fracture modelling etc.); * Use of the PFLOTRAN code, including the provision of advice on how to model specific situations relating to the generic geologies or SDM (including potential updates to the PFLOTRAN source code and re-compilation of the code, should the need arise); * The processing and manipulation of site characterisation data for use in PFLOTRAN models (including support in the production or checking of such data for the generic geologies); * Methods for the visualisation of input and output data; * The abstraction of data for use in performance assessment models; and * Expert review of the models produced by RWM. A large component of this will be the provision of on-call support, as well as requests for expert advice in particular areas. Given the difficulty in predicting the complexity and frequency of requests for support, it is anticipated that this contract would take the form of a call-off contract following the timescales specified in Section 9, with a specified maximum purchase order value, to be billed on an 'as used' time and materials basis with RWM only paying for those hours actually used under the Contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a8d137d-b1f5-4815-9370-269125fd9256 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Jul 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £175,000 | | 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 | SEASCALE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA20 1PG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Gosforth | | Westminster constituency | Whitehaven and Workington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 11 Jun 2019 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a8d137d-b1f5-4815-9370-269125fd9256 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a8d137d-b1f5-4815-9370-269125fd9256 11th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=11754&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.
