## Summary

The procurement process is being managed by the CTM Portal for the NDA Shared Services Alliance, focusing on the title "Expert Support & Alternative Treatment Solutions - SQE Support and Expert Support." This initiative falls within the "Radioactive-, toxic-, medical- and hazardous waste services" industry category and is located in the UK. Currently, the process is at the tender stage, with a submission deadline of 1 June 2021. The procurement is following an open procedure method, which allows for broad participation from suppliers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses involved in waste management, consultancy services, and compliance support within the hazardous waste sector. Organisations that possess expertise in verification, validation, and waste assurance will be well-suited to compete for these contracts. Additionally, companies of varying sizes, including SMEs, are encouraged to engage, particularly as the scope covers support services that are critical for public sector bodies across the UK.

## Notice

These services were originally Lots 1 & 3 of the procurement for the Expert Support & Alternative Treatment Solutions Framework (TED Reference: 2020/S 133-328094, CTM Reference: rft12133), and were removed from that procurement in order to maintain its integrity when required amendments were identified to these Lots. These Lots will be let with end dates to bring them in line with Lots 2 & 4 (see section 1.4), with the option for LLWR to extend the end date for a further nine months. A summary of the changes made to the Lots is: * Lot 1 requires additional support to verification and validation of on-going work, work packs and records, compliance audit and assurance support; * Lot 3 requires waste assurance, compliance and auditing support. Further detail is provided in the individual scopes of work, and any additional requirements relating to pricing are reflected in Appendix 10 to this ITT.
