Description
Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), (the Client) through its Waste Services line of business, is procuring this Framework for Waste Treatment and Conditioning Services on behalf of its Customers. A Customer is defined as any organisation that holds a Waste Services Contract (WSC) with the Client.
This Waste Treatment and Conditioning Services will support the delivery of the Integrated Waste Management Programme (IWMP) by providing the Client and its Customers access to a supply chain for treatment and conditioning of waste (primarily radioactive but may contain quantities of norm waste). This includes but is not limited to soft/solid combustible/compactable wastes through to oils, liquids, resins etc. and covering activity levels ranging from lower activity low level waste up to boundary waste and beyond including radioactively contaminated chemical and hazardous wastes.
The services to be provided under this framework will cover all stages of the waste lifecycle and to this end, Contractors must have knowledge and understanding across the full radioactive waste management lifecycle and the ability to operate and execute work and provide support and services the Client may require at each stage of the waste management lifecycle.
Contractor's must have the ability to deliver all aspects of the service. Such ability may include the use of appropriate subcontractors in accordance with the conditions of contract.
To maintain access to established waste management routes which are now embedded in waste producer's operations, the Client requires the Contractor to be able to provide either Incineration or Supercompaction (both of which must be able to deal with radioactive wastes) as a minimum requirement in order to secure a place on the framework, these will be referred to as minimum treatment capabilities. In addition to the minimum treatment capabilities, Contractors may offer other optional treatment processes, should the Contractor wish to offer additional treatments, any such capability should be detailed within their tender bid submission.
