## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) seeks to engage the market for Marine and On-shore Seismic Acquisition Services, classified under seismic services. The process is currently in the planning stage, with expected market engagement sessions scheduled throughout February and March 2021. The procurement will focus on delivering up to five lots for services across various sites within England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, backed by a total budget of £20 million. Importantly, suppliers can apply for multiple lots, with the anticipated future notice date set for 30th July 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in geological and geophysical consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in seismic data acquisition, marine survey services, and seismic processing. Companies with capabilities in marine deep and shallow water seismic services, as well as land acquisition techniques, are well-suited to compete for these lots. Participation in this framework agreement could enhance business visibility and contribute to growth within the public procurement sector, especially in the context of UK's nuclear decommissioning initiatives.

## Notice

RWM's proposed procurement strategy is to award up to 5 lots under a framework agreement to undertake survey acquisition, processing and interpretation at up to 5 separate sites within England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to suitably qualified Contractors. The RWM strategy for site identification is through a volunteering process and the setting up of a Community Working Group (CWG). Our initial position, subject to engagement is the following, the framework will intend to deliver services in the following sub-categories: * Seismic Acquisition Services, Marine Deep Water (Greater than 10m Water Depth) * Seismic Acquisition Services, Marine Shallow Water (5-10m Water Depth) * Seismic Acquisition Services, Land (Vibroseis and potentially shot hole sources) * Seismic Processing Services * Seismic and Quantitative interpretation Services This PIN notice is for information only.
