NWS is a division of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) which includes RWM and LLWR. NWS is not a legal entity but provides strategic oversight over the operation and development of these businesses through a management board governance structure. Further information on NWS can be found at; https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/nuclear-waste-services/about Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), through its Waste Services line of business, provides a Metallic Waste Treatment Service (MWTS) to both NDA and non-NDA customers. The service was established with the primary aim of prolonging the life of the repository through diverting metallic waste away from disposal at the LLWR to treatment providers with the capability of processing the metallic waste to enable it to be recycled into new products or conditioned for optimised disposal. In line with the UK Government's Solid LLW Strategy and the Waste Management Hierarchy, this provides a more sustainable solution and extends the life of the LLWR site by reducing the volume of waste requiring disposal. The procurement will deliver a contractual mechanism for the metallic waste treatment service. The current estimated maximum spend through the service is PS90M, although the service will formally be a zero-value agreement, with no spend guaranteed. The scope of the procurement is to manage the full metallic waste treatment lifecycle which could include the following: * On-site works, de-planting activities, and waste preparation. * Treatment of metallic waste in line with the waste management hierarchy and BAT. * Management of Primary and Secondary Waste for onward recycling and/or disposal. * Storage of metal pre and/or post treatment. * Transport. * Characterisation. * Packaging Provision. * Expert Support.
