## Summary

Nuclear Waste Services Limited procured treatment and technical support for chemicals from a customer site. The requirement is for an incineration service that provides a disposal route for those chemicals, together with service-specific waste acceptance criteria (SSWAC). The contractor must also provide technical expertise, advice and support to the customer when required. This is specialist radioactive waste treatment work (CPV 90521000), with delivery in West Cumbria. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a set of separately described lots. Its purpose is to manage chemicals from the customer’s site through incineration and disposal, supported by acceptance criteria tailored to the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Inutec Ltd, trading as Tradebe Inutec. The award date was 16 October 2026, and the awarded value is £3.5 million gross. The contract period runs from 17 December 2026 to 16 December 2030. The buyer used a selective procedure and made the award under a framework; the call-off was competitive. The procurement comprised one lot. This is the outcome of the process, rather than an opportunity for a new supplier to submit a bid. The published award information identifies the successful supplier and the contract’s value and term.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, this award demonstrates demand for specialist incineration and disposal of chemicals from a customer site, alongside technical support. A credible competitor would need the capability to operate an incineration service, establish and apply service-specific waste acceptance criteria, and provide technical expertise, advice and support when needed. Experience in radioactive waste treatment is directly relevant to the work procured. The requirement was handled as a competitive award under a framework, so familiarity with framework call-offs and the ability to compete through that route would also be pertinent. The successful supplier was a large business, indicating that this particular contract was awarded to an established provider able to deliver the combined treatment and support service.
