## Summary

The Nuclear Waste Services has awarded a contract to Jacobs U.K. Limited for the project titled "Develop experimental methodologies for determining radionuclide behaviour Phase2." This contract falls under the category of consultative engineering and construction services. The contract value is £2,000,000, with a contract period starting on 20th February 2023 and ending on 19th February 2026. The tender for this project was conducted using an open procedure and was awarded on 21st December 2022.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses in the services sector, particularly those specialising in consultative engineering and construction services, feasibility studies, advisory services, and research and experimental development services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are considered suitable for participation. The project locations span across different regions in the United Kingdom, providing a broad scope for interested businesses to compete and contribute to the experimental methodologies development related to radionuclide behaviour.

## Notice

This specification invites contractors to submit a targeted proposal for a three-staged programme of further work in experimental methodology development and approaches for radionuclide behaviour parameter measurement applicable to NWS's current knowledge gaps. At this stage, a proposal submitted in response to this Contract Technical Specification (CTS) should focus on Stage 1 of the work scope outlined below. A detailed, fully costed modular proposal for Stage 2 & 3 works is an anticipated output of Stage 1. The combined scope (Stages 1- 3) includes reviewing the global methodologies for acquiring site-specific radionuclide behaviour parameters, including development of a fully costed, modular work plan (Stage 1), and thereafter undertaking measurements to fill data gaps or to underpin safety arguments (Stage 2) and development of an optimised testing and analysis strategy (Stage 3), particularly in relation to relevant, UK-specific potential host rocks
