LLW Repository Ltd trading as Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) is a UK nuclear waste management company that provides services to UK customers to treat and dispose of low level radioactive waste. On behalf of the UK‘s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, we manage the national low level waste repository in West Cumbria and oversee a national low level waste programme to ensure that lower activity radioactive waste is managed effectively across the UK.
We intend to procure a 4-year framework agreement, divided into 4 lots, for the provision of packaging and associated services for radioactive wastes on behalf of our customers.
The proposed Framework may be accessed via NWS and will be for use by organisations that either currently hold, or may in future enter into, a Waste Services Contract with NWS. These organisations include private sector bodies, plus public sector bodies that fall into one or more of the categories stated in the Customer List document in Atamis.

The procurement project will deliver a 4-year multi-lot framework agreement. The current estimated maximum spend through the overall framework is 21,000,000 GBP, although the framework is formally a zero-value agreement, with no spend guaranteed.

The scope of the new framework is to undertake the following:
Lot 1: IP-2 ISO Container (and associated equipment) Supply, Repair and Refurbishment, Design and Manufacture, Spares and Distribution.
Estimated Lot value £13,000,000
