In relation to the delivery of products and services from both local and multinational suppliers, provision of independent third party inspection services are required to:
• comply with regulatory and legal obligations;
• assure compliance with specifications and requirements; and
• ensure that standards are met,
In the provision of the service the supplier will be required to promote the client's objectives of:
• Delivering a world class programme of safe, cost-effective, accelerated and environmentally responsible decommissioning of the UK's civil nuclear legacy in an open and transparent manner, with due regard to the socio-economic impacts on our communities;
• Working within a project team based on mutual trust, co-operation and good industry practice;
• Instilling a 'right first time' attitude throughout the project team;
• Commitment to incorporating good environmental practices of resource and energy efficiency, healthy buildings, plant and materials, whilst maintaining an ecologically, socially and aesthetically sensitive approach without compromising functionality, quality or cost performance;
• Delivering the Social Impact Strategy to create; resilient economies; thriving communities; social value chains; sustainable incomes; and collective impact; and
• Maintaining a "safety first" approach.
In respect of this "safety first" approach, as part of the forthcoming procurement tenderers will need to:
• possess appropriate accreditation as an Inspection Body to ISO/IEC 17020 Type A,
or equivalent;
• be able to demonstrate a high safety performance level; and
• complete a Tender Safety Assessment (TSA) questionnaire, to demonstrate that
they will have the appropriate processes and procedures that the supplier will use
going forward to ensure safe working, especially whilst working at client nuclear
sites.
The requirements are not being further sub divided as the service provider will be required to identify and allocate resource across multiple-disciplines; manage performance of the resource; provide management information. Further dividing the requirements into lots would lead to multi-discipline assignments having split responsibilities and general contract management inefficiencies.
