What is being bought

Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), the Client, through its Waste Services line of business, is procuring an open framework for Environmental Safety Case. The Client requires specialist technical services to support the application of and further development of its ESC. This involves the provision of suitably qualified people to support the delivery of scoped packages of work to support NWS’ ESC team in fulfilling its obligations as set out by the regulator and undertaking the forward work programme. The scope of work under this framework involves the provision of support to the ESC team in undertaking the technical activities identified below. Emerging requirements may be identified, noting that integrating tools and techniques of the LLWR and the GDF ESC Safety Cases will be an objective for NWS in the coming years. An Environmental Safety Case (ESC) is a comprehensive set of reports concerning the environmental safety of the disposal of solid radioactive waste, underpinned by a structured collection of arguments and scientific evidence. The ESC is an integral part of the Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) site Permit to dispose of radioactive waste and demonstrates that it is safe to continue to dispose of low-level waste at the site. The extended operational lifetime of the facility, the continued disposal of waste into future vaults and the subsequent closure and capping of the LLWR, are all dependent upon the acceptance of the ESC by the Environment Agency.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Geological, geophysical and other scientific prospecting services (71351000); 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

“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.

    "description": "Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), the Client, through its Waste Services line of business, is procuring an open framework for Environmental Safety Case.\nThe Client requires specialist technical services to support the application of and further development of its ESC. This involves the provision of suitably qualified people to support the delivery of scoped packages of work to support NWS’ ESC team in fulfilling its obligations as set out by the regulator and undertaking the forward work programme.  \nThe scope of work under this framework involves the provision of support to the ESC team in undertaking the technical activities identified below. Emerging requirements may be identified, noting that integrating tools and techniques of the LLWR and the GDF ESC Safety Cases will be an objective for NWS in the coming years. \nAn Environmental Safety Case (ESC) is a comprehensive set of reports concerning the environmental safety of the disposal of solid radioactive waste, underpinned by a structured collection of arguments and scientific evidence.\nThe ESC is an integral part of the Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) site Permit to dispose of radioactive waste and demonstrates that it is safe to continue to dispose of low-level waste at the site.\nThe extended operational lifetime of the facility, the continued disposal of waste into future vaults and the subsequent closure and capping of the LLWR, are all dependent upon the acceptance of the ESC by the Environment Agency.\nITT documents are available on Atamis: https://atamis-2464.my.site.com/s/Welcome",
