Description

LLW Repository Ltd trading as Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) is a UK nuclear waste management company that provides services to UK customers to treat and dispose of low level radioactive waste. On behalf of the UK's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, we manage the national low level waste repository in West Cumbria and oversee a national low level waste programme to ensure that lower activity radioactive waste is managed effectively across the UK.

The Requirement is for the provision of a fit-for-purpose, cost effective service providing access to different waste container types (Containers, UN Drums, Soft Sided Packages, NOVAPAKS), and associated services for all NWS customers with a Waste Services Contract

The procurement project will deliver a 4-year multi-lot framework agreement. The current estimated maximum spend through the overall framework is £14,700,000 GBP, although the framework is formally a zero-value agreement, with no spend guaranteed. The potential framework value is forecast to meet the demands of the joint waste management plans between NWS and its Customers, the delivery of a framework that meets customer requirements in terms of cost, quality and schedule is key to the success of the framework.
The scope of the new framework is to undertake the following:

Lot 1: Transportable ISO Freight Waste Containers (and associated equipment)

Lot 2: Manufacturing UN Approved Transportable Waste Drums, design, supply and distribution of specific UN Approved drums for the transport of solid and liquid materials

Lot 3: The supply and distribution of Soft Sided Packages (SSP's) for use as a single transport disposal package

Lot 4: NOVAPAK spares and repairs - to manage and distribute a stock of strategic spares, provide capability to carry out repairs to the NOVAPAK fleet and provide a maintenance contingency for the NOVAPAK fleet

Organisations are invited to submit their SQ and ITT responses via NWS's Atamis system (https://atamis-2464.my.site.com/s/Welcome), which can be accessed against Record Ref C16719 Waste Container and Associated Services Framework which is listed within the 'Find Opportunities' area on the portal.
