This initiative falls within the research and development services sector, specifically addressing radioactive and hazardous waste services. The tender was published on 18 September 2019 and is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 18 October 2019. The related contract is expected to commence on 19 October 2019 and continue until 20 October 2021, with a total estimated value of £275,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research, development, and waste management related to nuclear decommissioning and radioactive materials. Companies that specialise in the design and supply of waste containment solutions, particularly those with experience in engineering services, are encouraged to participate. The open procurement method offers a chance for both established firms and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in a collaborative effort aimed at improving waste management practices and achieving cost efficiencies in the nuclear sector. ## Notice Radioactive Waste Management Limited (RWM) is responsible for delivery of a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) and providing waste management solutions for Higher Activity Waste (HAW). Through engagement with Site Licence Companies (SLCs) via the Disposability Assessment Process, RWM is in the unique position of being able to oversee and influence the management of HAW by identifying opportunities and sharing best practice. The HAW Programme is focused on providing support to SLCs and implementing relatively near-term opportunities to improve waste management practices and provide cost savings to Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). This is achieved by collaborative working with SLCs to identify, develop and implement new waste management opportunities. RWM has been requested to explore waste packaging and interim storage options for Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) that will be generated through a proposed acceleration to the delivery of reactor dismantling operations, notably the Stage 3 decommissioning wastes that will arise from the Final Site Clearance (FSC) of the ten Magnox Ltd reactor sites. In order to enable this acceleration in reactor dismantling, suitable waste containers must be available in the required numbers, at the right time, and at competitive cost to enable packaging and interim storage of the waste. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ff226327-f910-4ee6-bbc2-f8e5ac33d364 | | 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 | 18 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | 18 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Oct 2019 - 20 Oct 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £275,000 | | 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 | CTM PORTAL FOR THE NDA SHARED SERVICES ALLIANCE | | Locality | DIDCOT | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX11 0RH | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90520000 - Radioactive-, toxic-, medical- and hazardous waste services - 90521200 - Radioactive waste storage services - 90521500 - Packaging of radioactive waste ## Release History - 18 Sep 2019 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ff226327-f910-4ee6-bbc2-f8e5ac33d364 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ff226327-f910-4ee6-bbc2-f8e5ac33d364 18th September 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=12031&B=SELLAFIELD Additional data ## 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.
