Please mail barry.purdy@nda.gov.uk for a copy of the contract technical specification. RWM aims to acquire two or more seismic surveys, with potential locations at inshore Allerdale District and Theddelthorpe (E. Lincolnshire). At this stage a broad search area has been identified within which RWM will undertake focussed 3D surveys of around 100km2. Whilst the actual survey area has not been agreed as yet, the broad characteristics of the surveys area can be described as follows. Allerdale district would involve acquisition within a tidal estuary environment within the English waters of the, Solway Firth with water depths ranging from 0-14m. Theddlethorpe would involve a marine acquisition in the inshore region (0-12nm) located between approximately between the Humber Estuary and The Wash. Water depths for Theddlethorpe are anticipated to be potentially between 0-20m. Both areas are anticipated to have tidal ranges between 4-7m as well as potentially high tide-related currents. RWM would aim to acquire both surveys within a suitable "weather window" to minimise adverse weather-related impacts on productivity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd0565b0-a219-48db-bff2-04edb1656ca1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 16 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 1 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,001 | | 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 0GD | | 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 - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 71351200 - Geological and geophysical consultancy services - 71352100 - Seismic services - 71352110 - Seismographic surveying services - 71352120 - Seismic data acquisition services - 71352130 - Seismic data collection services - 71353000 - Surface surveying services - 71353200 - Dimensional surveying services - 71354500 - Marine survey services - 71355000 - Surveying services - 98360000 - Marine services ## Release History - 26 Nov 2021 at 17:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd0565b0-a219-48db-bff2-04edb1656ca1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd0565b0-a219-48db-bff2-04edb1656ca1 26th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=15284&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.
