This procurement falls under the main procurement category of services in the industry classification of Monitoring and control services.This opportunity is currently in the planning stage, with the future notice date set for 4th January 2024. The tender includes various lots such as Monitoring of Radioactivity and Waste Management and Decommissioning, providing opportunities for businesses specialised in radiological impact assessment, environmental radiological protection, and waste management consultancy. The Environment Agency is seeking expert services to enhance its regulatory work around radioactive substances regulation. Businesses involved in monitoring, technical analysis, environmental impact assessment, and waste management consultancy would be well-suited to compete in this tender process. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses to contribute to environmental protection efforts and support the safe management of radioactive materials and wastes, with tasks ranging from on-site monitoring to expert technical support and waste management strategies. ## Notice Radioactive Substances Regulation - Ad-hoc Monitoring and Technical Support Framework Lot 1 Monitoring of Radioactivity Lot 2 Radioactive Substances Regulation: Research, Development, Evidence and Analysis a. Sub Lot 2.1 Radiological Impact Assessment (from past or future discharges) b. Sub Lot 2.2 Environmental Radiological Protection c. Sub Lot 2.3 Waste Management and Decommissioning ### Lot Information Lot 1 Monitoring of Radioactivity Lot 1 Monitoring of Radioactivity - this has two components: a. To carryout ad-hoc monitoring of radioactive releases, environmental measurements and short-term investigations associated with all sites regulated by the Environment Agency as part of its duties under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 (EPR 16) as amended. In general, this component of the framework contract will enable in situ measurements to be undertaken, sampling and analysis of radioactivity in the environment, and of radioactive materials in solid disposals or liquid or air emissions. This component is referred to as Investigative Monitoring throughout the rest of the document. The Investigative Monitoring capability provided by this framework would also be utilised by the Environment Agency in the event of a radiation emergency. b. Work of a more technical nature which may include, but not be limited to, providing advice on monitoring and analysis of radioactivity in the environment, expertise on radiological instrumentation and sampling/analytical method development. Work to be undertaken as part of this component is referred to as Specialist Technical Support. Sub Lot 2.1 Radiological Impact Assessment (from past or future discharges) Sub Lot 2.1 Radiological Impact Assessment (from past or future discharges) - To carry out assessments into exposure of members of the public or non-human biota to radioactivity in the environment arising from gaseous or liquid discharges from nuclear sites (such as power stations) or from non-nuclear sites (such as hospitals and universities). From time-to-time work may be required to review data and provide updates to available assessment systems or approaches. The work will normally be office based, site visits are not normally required, although a familiarisation visit to the area around a particular site may be appropriate depending on the nature of the assessment. It is important that the outputs produced can be transferred to the Environment Agency in an appropriate format so they can be re-used by the Environment Agency with minimum difficulty. Sub Lot 2.2 Environmental Radiological Protection Sub Lot 2.2 Environmental Radiological Protection - To provide the Environment Agency with expert technical services to fill data gaps and improve our knowledge of the behaviour (transfer, migration, and mobility) of radioactivity in the environment and the impact of radioactivity on people and wildlife. The work will normally be office based, but site visits may occasionally be required depending on the nature of the project. Sub Lot 2.3 Waste Management and Decommissioning Sub Lot 2.3 Waste Management and Decommissioning - The objective for this sub-lot is to provide the Environment Agency with expert technical services which will improve our regulatory work relevant to the management of radioactive and non-radioactive wastes. This extends to the development of waste management strategies and environmental safety cases for waste disposal. The work will normally be office based, but site visits may occasionally be required depending on the nature of the project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036918-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Jan 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENVIRONMENT AGENCY (DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71317000 - Hazard protection and control consultancy services - 71600000 - Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 71700000 - Monitoring and control services - 90711000 - Environmental impact assessment other than for construction - 90711100 - Risk or hazard assessment other than for construction - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services - 90722200 - Environmental decontamination services ## Release History - 15 Dec 2023 at 11:10 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036918-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
