## Summary

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority is initiating a tender process for the Asbestos Innovation Partnership Phase 1. This contract falls under the services category and aims to develop an innovative solution to treat radioactive asbestos and asbestos-containing materials. The procurement method is selective, using an Innovation partnership above threshold. The contract period is set to start on 28th November 2023 and end on 30th May 2025. The tender deadline is 19th June 2023, with a value of £80,000,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the radioactive, toxic, medical, and hazardous waste services sector, as well as those offering project-design, specialty design, and decommissioning services. Companies with expertise in research and development, waste analysis, and feasibility studies are well-suited to compete. The geographic scope includes the UK Nuclear Industry, making it a significant opportunity for organisations in this sector to showcase their capabilities and technological innovations.

## Notice

The NDA is looking for the supply chain to develop an innovative solution that converts asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACM), that are currently considered as wastes with significant chemo-toxic properties, into an inert product that can be re-used. The requirement is to primarily treat radiologically-contaminated Asbestos / ACM up to, and including that classified as, Intermediate Level Waste. The scope includes highly friable material. It is expected that the technology developed will also be applicable to non-radiologically contaminated asbestos / ACM and this may prevent significant quantities having to be sent to licenced hazardous landfills. Although primarily aimed at NDA estate wastes, the service may be accessible to non-NDA estate organisations in the UK Nuclear Industry. Whilst this is advertised as a services contract, Goods and works will apply.
