Description
AWE is looking to appoint a supplier to supply its requirements for industrial, medical and special gases and associated equipment and services post expiry of its existing contract which expires on 31st
December 2024. A procurement is required to secure future supplies under a new contract. Whilst AWE is seeking a supply solution managed through a single supplier, the supplier can meet the requirements either directly through its own production facilities or by leveraging its supply chain by sub-contracting.
The supply of products and associated services will support the AWE sites at both Aldermaston and Burghfield.
At present there are no plans to service other sites, however it should be noted that during
the life of the contract term, the infrastructure and layout of the site may change which may in turn lead to required changes in respect of the in scope services.
In respect of the requirements, the following are deemed in scope.
1. Compressed Industrial Gases
2. Compressed Medical Gases
3. Compressed Research/Special Gases and Gas Mixtures
4. Bulk Gases in Liquid Form
5. Cryo Liquids in Small Vessels
6. Solid Carbon Dioxide (CO2, 'Dry Ice')
7. Gas Regulators and Handling Equipment
8. Assorted Fixtures and Fittings
9. Maintenance and Inspection Services
10. Rental of Gases Tanks
11. Delivery Services
12. Gas Safety Training Courses
13. Demand and Inventory Management
During the course of the Contract AWE may require additional gases to be provided in addition to those
specified above.
