What is being bought

UKAEA request information on products, including ROM costs, that could provide containment for operations involving size reduction of tritiated stainless steel waste (ILW and potentially LLW). UKAEA proposes an online meeting in w/c Mon 19th or 26th Jan 2026 to discuss further. This new containment system would be integrated into an existing building that already contains operational tritium systems, which will continue to be operational throughout the installation and decommissioning of this new containment system. UKAEA prefer COTS products with modular design. Note that this work is currently at the system requirements definition stage. Estimates for space available within the existing building can be shared in the proposed meeting above.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Nuclear evaluation instruments (38940000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 381,9762 median · 11.3 average (864 of 1,976 with a bid count)2.7 average (1,001 of 1,976 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
