This initiative aims to establish a four-year framework agreement to engage up to eight suppliers to address various radioactive waste characterisation needs. Key dates include the tender deadline on 5 February 2021, with the contract period anticipated to commence on 30 July 2021 and conclude on 29 July 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure, enabling broad participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in radioactive waste management, sampling, packaging, and analysis services. Companies that can offer innovative solutions in waste characterisation and logistics are particularly well-suited to compete. The framework is designed to accommodate private sector entities as well as public bodies engaged in similar waste management contracts, thereby fostering a competitive environment for stakeholders in this critical industry. ## Notice As part of its role as NDA's Low Level Waste management contractor, LLWR is leading the implementation of the UK Strategy for the Management of Solid Low Level Radioactive Waste from the Nuclear Industry through the National Waste Programme for Lower Activity Wastes. At the heart of LLWR's mission is the provision of services that provide alternative options to waste producers to preserve Repository capacity. The Waste Services Contract (WSC) allows Customers to access LLWR's suite of Waste and Logistic Services. LLWR intends to procure a 4-year framework agreement with up to 8 suppliers for a range of radioactive waste characterisation needs, including: * Pre-operational investigations; * On-site sampling operations; * Packaging; * Transport; * Analysis; * Interpretation, reporting and option identification; * Measurement services; * Sample retention and disposal. The estimated value is PS14m over 4 years, although the agreement is formally zero-value with no spend guaranteed. The framework will be for use by organisations that either currently hold, or may in future enter into, a WSC with LLWR. These organisations include private sector bodies plus public sector bodies that fall into one or more of the categories detailed in the associated TED/OJEU Contract Notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62fa310f-91c4-45b1-868f-f11ac94239c5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 5 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Jul 2021 - 29 Jul 2025 | | 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 | CTM PORTAL FOR THE NDA SHARED SERVICES ALLIANCE | | Locality | CALDERBRIDGE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA20 1DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Gosforth | | Westminster constituency | Whitehaven and Workington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90520000 - Radioactive-, toxic-, medical- and hazardous waste services ## Release History - 18 Dec 2020 at 16:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62fa310f-91c4-45b1-868f-f11ac94239c5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62fa310f-91c4-45b1-868f-f11ac94239c5 18th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=13045&B=SELLAFIELD Tender documents - https://sharedsystems.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/3510 User / Company ## 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.
