Tender description

RWM wishes to establish a phased, integrated project to develop technically feasible and scientifically underpinned sealing systems to meet RWM’s long-term safety requirements. The project shall consider sealing system options for disposal vaults, tunnels, and accessways and be relevant to the range of geological environments and waste types pertinent to a UK Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). Lot 1: RWM wishes to establish a phased, integrated project to develop technically feasible and scientifically underpinned sealing systems to meet RWM’s long-term safety requirements. The project shall consider sealing system options for disposal vaults, tunnels, and accessways and be relevant to the range of geological environments and waste types pertinent to a UK Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). Additional information: RWM reserves the right to extend the contract for a further 12 months in aggregate. The project has a current budget of £1.6M, but it is recognised that the longer second phase has uncertainty. RWM is open to suggestions of ‘optional’ additional tasks that will enhance the programme which may be selected for incorporation as part of core scope.
