The procurement, currently in the planning stage, includes a Supplier Engagement Event on 10th December 2024, with the engagement end date set for 17th July 2025. This framework will cover various types of wastes, including soft/solid combustible/compactable wastes, oils, liquids, resins, and radioactively contaminated hazardous wastes. The tender is classified under industry categories such as Radioactive Waste Treatment Services, Radioactive Waste Storage Services, and related services. The total value for this procurement is projected at GBP 41,000,000, and the services will be provided primarily in the North West region of the United Kingdom, specifically noted with postal code CA20 1DB. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, particularly those capable of handling radioactive waste through processes like Incineration or Supercompaction. Companies with comprehensive knowledge of the radioactive waste management lifecycle and the ability to provide extensive support and services will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that can offer optional treatment processes on top of the minimum requirements will have an added advantage. This procurement process underscores the potential for long-term contracts and steady partnerships with Nuclear Waste Services, making it a valuable opportunity for businesses looking to expand their operations within the specialised field of waste treatment and conditioning services. ## Notice Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), (the Client) through its Waste Services line of business, is procuring this Framework for Waste Treatment and Conditioning Services on behalf of its Customers. A Customer is defined as any organisation that holds a Waste Services Contract (WSC) with the Client. This Waste Treatment and Conditioning Services will support the delivery of the Integrated Waste Management Programme (IWMP) by providing the Client and its Customers access to a supply chain for treatment and conditioning of waste (primarily radioactive but may contain quantities of norm waste). This includes but is not limited to soft/solid combustible/compactable wastes through to oils, liquids, resins etc. and covering activity levels ranging from lower activity low level waste up to boundary waste and beyond including radioactively contaminated chemical and hazardous wastes. The services to be provided under this framework will cover all stages of the waste lifecycle and to this end, Contractors must have knowledge and understanding across the full radioactive waste management lifecycle and the ability to operate and execute work and provide support and services the Client may require at each stage of the waste management lifecycle. Contractor's must have the ability to deliver all aspects of the service. Such ability may include the use of appropriate subcontractors in accordance with the conditions of contract. To maintain access to established waste management routes which are now embedded in waste producer's operations, the Client requires the Contractor to be able to provide either Incineration or Supercompaction (both of which must be able to deal with radioactive wastes) as a minimum requirement in order to secure a place on the framework, these will be referred to as minimum treatment capabilities. In addition to the minimum treatment capabilities, Contractors may offer other optional treatment processes, should the Contractor wish to offer additional treatments, any such capability should be detailed within their tender bid submission. We intend to hold an in person Supplier Engagement Event on Tuesday 10th December 2024 from 09:00 till 14:00 to share high-level scope and other details.
