The buying organisation is the CTM Portal for the NDA Shared Services Alliance, located in Didcot, England. This open procedure tender, classified under geological and geophysical consultancy services (CPV code 71351200), was published on 6th November 2019 and is currently in the Tender stage. The deadline for applications is set for 4th December 2019, with a contract period anticipated to start on 13th January 2020 and end on 31st March 2021. The estimated project value is between £550,000 and £800,000. Delivery addresses include the UK, British Overseas Territories, and other regions within Europe. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in geological consultancy and related research services, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that can offer expertise in site characterisation, seismic reflection surveys, and the development of comprehensive reporting and planning processes will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project could enable firms to strengthen their market presence within the environmental and geological consultancy sectors, particularly in the context of nuclear decommissioning and infrastructure development. ## Notice This scope of work covers the site characterisation activities that would need to be undertaken by RWM from initial understanding based upon desk-based studies through initial seismic reflection surveys to the design, specification, permitting and planning for the initial boreholes for characterising an LSSR host rock in a sedimentary sequence. To achieve the desired outcomes set out in the introduction, we have identified the following areas of scope for this work: 1. Design a series of workshops and supporting work between workshops that will deliver the necessary understanding across the relevant teams in RWM. (Approx Dec/Jan 2019/2020) 2. Deliver the workshops and supporting work in an efficient manner producing reports capturing the methodology, outputs and conclusions of each workshop. (Approx Dec 2019 - Oct 2020) 3. Produce structured reports capturing the activities, processes and interactions between different functions in RWM and the supply chain necessary to deliver site characterisation. (Approx Oct 2020 - Mar 2021) 4. Produce a report capturing the lessons learnt from the workshop approach to the testing to inform the planning of Work Package 3. (Approx Jan-Mar 2021). 5. Specific development of the work process maps for geosphere and gas research activities during the early part of site characterisation. 6. Specific development of the work process maps for hydrogeology/hydrogeochemistry related activities during the early part of site characterisation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61d17533-9f03-410d-bf7b-4614261b712f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Dec 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Jan 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | 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 0RH | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 71351200 - Geological and geophysical consultancy services - 71351220 - Geological consultancy services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Nov 2019 at 17:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61d17533-9f03-410d-bf7b-4614261b712f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61d17533-9f03-410d-bf7b-4614261b712f 6th November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=12147&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.
