Description

Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the UK Government's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and responsible for implementing geological disposal of higher activity radioactive wastes. Geological disposal involves placing radioactive waste deep underground in a suitable geological environment for the time required for the radioactivity associated with them to naturally reduce (further information is available on RWM's website). RWM will act as a developer of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for such waste and is responsible for ensuring that the siting, construction, operation and eventual closure of a GDF complies with, amongst other requirements, the UK's high standards of safety, security and environmental protection. Developing and constructing a GDF is one of the most important environmental projects of our generation and RWM is committed to engaging and working in partnership with communities and relevant local authorities in England and Wales for the purposes of identifying a suitable location for the development and operation of a GDF. This Contract Notice relates to establishing a number of frameworks for the provision of consultancy services to support RWM in the evaluation of potential sites - further details and RWM's Siting and Engagement Strategy is available on RWM's website via the link in Section I.1. The services required are divided into 9 Lots.
