Radioactive waste treatment services

Tender description

LLW Repository Ltd (LLWR) is a waste management company that provides services to customers to treat and dispose of low-level radioactive waste. Our customer base consists of nuclear industry and non-nuclear industry waste producers. LLWR intends to let a framework that will allow customers to consign VLLW for disposal under their waste services contract with LLWR. This is in line with the UK nuclear industry low-level waste strategy and the principles of the waste management hierarchy. LLWR has a requirement to establish arrangements with companies that can provide the disposal of lower activity radioactive wastes. LLWR will issue invitations to tender to potential service providers that wish to support LLWR in delivering the VLLW disposal service to customers. The very low level waste framework will support the delivery of the National Waste Programme by providing LLWR and its customers with the capability to manage the disposal of their VLLW. The procurement project will deliver a 4-year multi-supplier framework agreement and the current estimated maximum spend through the framework is GBP 27 million although the framework is formally a zero-value agreement, with no spend guaranteed.
