Official UK procurement notice
The provision of independent technical verification of GE Healthcare Limited (Amersham) delicensing proposals and claims
Authority: Office for Nuclear Regulation (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionONR procedure (NS-PER-IN-005) requires additional suitably qualified and experienced (SQEP) expertise to provide independent radiological surveys, sampling and assessment with respect to the 'no danger' criteria (Section 3(12) and Section 5(15)(a) Nuclear Installations Act 1965 (NIA 1965)). This procedure details the requirements of how a licensed nuclear site (or a part thereof) may be removed from the licensing requirements of the NIA 1965.
GE Healthcare Limited (Amersham) nuclear licensed site will require delicensing in order to meet business needs. Delicensing reduces the radiological hazard and risk at the site; therefore ONR considers delicensing proposals as part of its enabling regulatory approach. Delicensing and site remediation meet the UK Government's priority of delivering safe and secure nuclear decommissioning. However, for ONR to meet its responsibilities when assessing a delicensing proposal it requires technical support
