This procurement is classified under research and development consultancy services and hazardous waste services, with an emphasis on innovative disposal techniques for waste generated by nuclear fusion activities. The tender period concludes on 25th June 2021, and the contract is expected to start shortly afterwards on 26th June 2021, with a defined end date of 27th June 2021. The work will be executed at locations in South East England. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in waste management, radioactive waste disposal, consultancy services, and research and development. Companies that focus on innovative waste treatment solutions or have expertise in navigating complex waste acceptance criteria would be particularly well-placed to compete for this contract. Firms capable of addressing the unique challenges posed by the disposal of fusion-related materials are encouraged to participate, leveraging their capabilities to support the JRP's goals of safe and efficient waste disposal. ## Notice The following outlines a study to underpin the most suitable strategy and processes for wastes arising from the Jet Repurposing Programme (JRP). The JRP is the programme run by UKAEA to repurpose components from the JET fusion reactor system and the associated peripheral infrastructure / affiliate plants. The main goal of the programme is to deviate from a baseline of disposing of JET materials as ILW material, and instead using novel techniques to convert and treat wastes to LLW for disposal. There has been, and continues to be, significant work researching these waste treatment options, the likely forms and amounts of waste and the likely disposal options for wastes. In addition to this main body of work, there is an additional task to form an understanding of the disposability of all JRP wastes (not just ILW) to LLWR. The wastes arising from fusion systems deviate significantly from those of other nuclear sites, and hence there is uncertainty in the disposal options for such a large volume of predominantly novel radioactive wastes. The second phase of work required is a study of the disposal options for wastes from JRP activities as LLW to LLWR. The LLWR Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) are complex and the appropriate and efficient disposal of JRP wastes hinges on the meeting of this WAC. The wastes arising from JRP activities are of various form, composition and have distinct radiological and chemical properties compared to much of the waste commonly accepted by LLWR. It is required that the output of this task is the formation of a summary report which covers the above points and identifies the key disposability options for some of the waste which may not be suitable for LLWR. There is also the requirement for a table summarising the wastes which may not be destined for LLWR, the potential alternative disposal route, and key properties of the wastes which define the chosen disposal option. It is required that the task can identify additional opportunities to dispose of or further treat / reuse JRP wastes which preclude disposal at LLWR. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d112fad7-d16d-4e50-9b30-42f083d288cd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Jun 2021 - 27 Jun 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Sandford & the Wittenhams | | Westminster constituency | Didcot and Wantage | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 90520000 - Radioactive-, toxic-, medical- and hazardous waste services - 90521300 - Disposal of radioactive waste - 90521500 - Packaging of radioactive waste ## Release History - 28 May 2021 at 11:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d112fad7-d16d-4e50-9b30-42f083d288cd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d112fad7-d16d-4e50-9b30-42f083d288cd 28th May 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=38075&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/72814 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-atomic-energy-authority ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
