NNL operates as a source of nuclear expertise, providing technical products and services in various locations such as Preston, Sellafield, Workington, and Warrington. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender deadline on 31st July 2023 and a contract period starting on 1st September 2023 and ending on 31st August 2024. The industry category for this tender is laboratory, optical and precision equipment, and the total value of the contract is £50,000. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the laboratory equipment industry to compete for supplying and installing a hydrogen analyser for NNL's waste and residue processing project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Businesses with expertise in precision equipment manufacturing, gas monitoring technologies, and nuclear waste processing are well-suited to bid for this contract, which aims to enhance the processing efficiency of depleted uranium (DU) swarf material at the NNL Preston Laboratory. ## Notice The National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) operates research and technology facilities on behalf of the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) at several locations in the UK. It is a source of nuclear expertise, offering technical products and services to organisations nationally and internationally. These include everything from fuel manufacture, power generation, reprocessing and waste treatment to disposal, defence, new nuclear build, and homeland security. NNL operates at various locations in the UK including Preston, Sellafield, Workington, and Warrington. The NNL Preston Laboratory (A709) is based at Springfields Fuels Ltd, Salwick, Preston, PR4 OXJ. As part of the waste and residue processing capability, NNL are currently processing Depleted Uranium (DU) swarf material in their Pilot Plant facility at Preston. Initial processing has indicated the need to upgrade the gas monitoring capability by implementing an engineered solution which will help drive an increase in drum processing efficiency. A requirement has been identified for a hydrogen (H2) process analyser on the extract line of the Pilot Plant batch dissolver vessels. The vessels utilise a blend of a nitric and sulphuric acid for the dissolution of DU swarf metal. Hydrogen gas is produced as a biproduct, creating the requirement for a device which can monitor the level of hydrogen in the extract line. This procurement specification sets out the requirement for the process analyser and constraints as currently understood. Bids are sought from likely suppliers of the ultimate solution which demonstrate the technical feasibility of what has been requested. The document also contains the scope of work, background to the project and any associated documentation and quality requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a460546-c636-403d-8cf1-428c6100618b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2023 - 31 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | NATIONAL NUCLEAR LABORATORY | | Locality | WARRINGTON | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA3 6AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD61 Warrington | | Local authority | Warrington | | Electoral ward | Birchwood | | Westminster constituency | Warrington North | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ## Release History - 27 Jun 2023 at 14:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a460546-c636-403d-8cf1-428c6100618b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a460546-c636-403d-8cf1-428c6100618b 27th June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=70069&B=NNL Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/124934 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.nnl.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
