Description
The Authority has an agreement with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) to fulfil specific elements of the Justification process, as Justifying Authority for new nuclear energy technologies. The Authority's Nuclear Justification Team's role is to advise the SoS so that the SoS may determine the class or type of practice (CTP) that pertains to any application it receives from the nuclear industry and to decide whether the CTP is Justified or not. The Authority wishes to establish a framework of up to 12 suppliers who have the requisite nuclear expertise to provide advice throughout the Justification process. The Authority's Nuclear Justification Team will use the services and deliverables provided by Framework Suppliers to inform its recommendations to the Secretary of State (SoS) in respect of an appropriate CTP and whether it is Justified.
The objective for this Framework is to appoint Framework Suppliers with the capability to provide the following services:
• Undertake specific analyses and provide technical advice to inform Justification decisions on new nuclear energy technologies including but not limited to:
o preparing detailed and comprehensive written reports, in an agreed manner and timeline, as required
o presenting, explaining and discussing report findings to/with the NJ Team, statutory consultees and other stakeholders as required
o other related analysis and technical advice as required.
• Provide ongoing technical support to the NJ Team, including but not limited to:
o providing expert knowledge, advice and support to enable interpretation and
understanding of technical aspects and implications of data and information relevant to the Justification assessment process
o providing advice on robustness of evidence, gaps in evidence and methods
o providing access to expert bodies to approach to provide supplementary evidence where needed
o co-authoring draft and final Decision documents with the NJ Team
o other related technical support as required.
