The project involves civil engineering works to install an engineered interim trench cap over the Southern Trenches near Drigg Village. The overall scope includes labour, equipment, materials, project management, and supervision. The procurement is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date of 15th September 2023. This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies involved in construction works, land rehabilitation, excavation, earthmoving, and other related services. Businesses specialising in architectural, engineering, and inspection services, as well as those providing construction machinery and equipment, may find this tender particularly relevant. The project, valued at £53,000,000 GBP, offers a long-term opportunity within a portfolio of works extending over the next 15 years, aimed at providing disposal capacity and environmental protection for low-level nuclear waste. ## Notice LLW Repository Ltd trading as Nuclear Waste Services has a scope of work for the "Southern Trenches Interim Membrane (STIM) Contract", which forms part of the Repository Development portfolio of work at the LLW Repository facility near Drigg Village in Cumbria, England. The work consists of civil engineering works associated with installing an engineered interim trench cap over the Southern Trenches. In summary, the scope is to provide labour, equipment, materials, project management and supervision to complete the work. Work also includes establishment and maintenance of site offices, welfare and all associated temporary works. Repository Development is a long-term portfolio of works that will provide disposal capacity and protection of low-level nuclear waste over the next 107 years, or until the end life of the Repository Site. In the shorter term the portfolio, over the next 15 years will install closure engineering works for short and long-term environmental protection for wastes currently disposed in Vault 8 and the adjacent trenches. This scope of works has been previously referred to as Repository Development Programme - Tranche 1 Main Civils and has been communicated to the market in early 2022. The works over the next 15 years have been considered, and optimised detailed designs completed. More recently, the delivery strategy for the works has been further developed and subsequently split into projects that deliver a key benefit to the closure of Vault 8 and adjacent trenches. The original scope of works was shared in January 2023 (as summarised in the 'Additional Information' section in the attachment and via the following link: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c97ae723-549e-4125-bf7c-12a4b876ff3a) In recent months this scope has been amended. Rail delivery of imported bulk aggregates and soils will be carried out by Nuclear Transport Services (NTS) on behalf of the Client. The Client will enter into a contract for rail deliveries with NTS, the scope of which will be limited to transport between the agreed loading point and unloading point at LLWR rail sidings. The Contractor shall have no contractual arrangements with NTS. A copy of the draft scope is located in the documents area of the Atamis eSourcing system (https://atamis-2464.my.site.com/s/Welcome) and is subject to final approvals.
