This requirement is based at the Harwell site in the UK and is classified under the main procurement category of works. The procurement method is limited, with no prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract has been awarded to Spaciotempo UK. The scope of the project includes the hire and dismantling of three temporary tents with durations ranging from 12 to 36 months, and the contract value is approximately £254,521. The contract was signed on 25 September 2018, and is currently active. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in temporary structures, industrial construction, and plant hire services. Companies that have experience in managing large-scale projects—particularly those involving health and safety within the nuclear or contaminated waste sectors—will find this procurement particularly relevant. The limited nature of the procurement method suggests a lower level of competition, which could favour those already familiar with the contracting authority’s operational requirements and regulatory conditions. ## Notice Temporary industrial steel structures are required to store recovered waste packages until a decontamination and disposal route is confirmed. The contract scope is for erect, hire and dismantle of three temporary structures on Harwell site. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Magnox currently have three temporary structures in place to facilitate the storage of waste located at the Harwell site. Due to unforeseen delays in managing the disposal of the waste, the structures are required for the following durations: Hanger 10 Tent: 36 months B525 Tent: 24 months B351 Tent: 12 months Magnox has analysed the risks associated with the removal of contaminated waste from one tent to another. This exposes Magnox not only financially, but also from a health and safety perspective. Options: The procurement was placed in accordance with Magnox Ltd Conditions of Contract for Plant Hire (M/PH/2013). Magnox may extend the hire period for any of the plant on the site, with the agreement of the owner. ### Procurement Information Magnox Limited is intending to modify the current contract with Spaciotempo UK pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Magnox considers that the modification to the current contract is necessary. Firstly, a change of contractor cannot be made for interchangeability and interoperability reasons. There would be significant health and safety implications resulting from a change of contractor, including but not limited to from a licence condition perspective in respect of LC34 (Leakage and Escape of Radioactive Material and Radioactive Waste) and LC32 (Accumulation of Radioactive Waste). Secondly, a change of contractor would cause significant inconvenience and an increase in cost, with a significant consequential cost of moving waste from H10, B351 and B525. Finally, the increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract with Spaciotempo UK. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025105-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Sep 2018 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £254,521 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MAGNOX LIMITED (LTD) | | Locality | DIDCOT | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX11 0GG | | 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SPACIOTEMPO | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45223800 - Assembly and erection of prefabricated structures ## Release History - 7 Oct 2021 at 16:59 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025105-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/magnox-ltd ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
