Radioactive Waste Management Facilities Management Services

Tender description

Radioactive Waste Management Limited (the 'Contracting Authority' or 'RWM') entered into a call-off contract with Rolfe Contracting Limited ('RCL') for Facility Management (FM) services for building 329 on the Harwell Campus, Didcot on 1st April 2020 following a competition under the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Framework, Call off Contract RM3830, Lot 1a for FM services. As part of NDA's collaborative procurement process under the CCS Framework, RWM sought tenders for FM services at B329 and one floor of B150 of the Harwell Campus. At contract award, B150 was not ready for occupation and such requirements for RCL to carry out FM services at B150 were removed from the contract. RWM always anticipated that FM services to one floor of B150 would be undertaken by RCL during the contract term, when B150 was ready for occupation. Since the commencement of the contract, RWM's workforce has substantially grown and in December 2021, RWM took occupation of the whole of B150 (two floors) and now requires FM services for the whole of this building. This VEAT notice is in respect of proposed modifications to the contract awarded to permit RCL to undertake the FM services for the whole of B150. It is not the award of a new contract and the contract will not be extended beyond the current contract period Lot 1: FM provision for B150 - This covers the FM services for B150, and new staff employed to deliver this (e.g. cleaners, daytime and evening, on-site handyman and management supervision from RCL head office) to carry out the integrated FM services to ensure the building is safe, clean, compliant and secure for RWM staff to perform their normal duties. This will be delivered through a mixture of self-delivery, on-site staff and sub-contracted workforce employed to deliver these services with minimal disruption.
