## Summary

Nuclear Waste Services Limited has issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) and Request For Information (RFI) for a forthcoming procurement opportunity titled "Environmental Safety Case (ESC) – General Technical including Geological and Hydrogeological Support." This tender is part of the environmental safety services sector, identified by the CPV code 90721000, and aims to replace the existing ESC Framework Lots 2 & 3. Key services include environmental auditing, disposal of radioactive waste, and geological prospecting, with the scope extended to environmental impact assessments and pollutants tracking. The place of work is now likely to be in West Cumbria rather than Oxfordshire. This process is currently in the planning stage with the next update anticipated by 30th July 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental safety, particularly those with expertise in radioactive waste disposal, nuclear safety, and geological studies. The contract's estimated value of £15,000,000 highlights the substantial investment and potential for growth for participating firms. Companies proficient in managing complex environmental compliance frameworks and possessing technical skills in sectors like geophysical services and environmental impact assessments would be well positioned to compete. The procurement process, facilitated through a structured framework, ensures transparent and competitive opportunities for industry players to collaborate in enhancing environmental safety protocols.
