To support the development of our procurement strategy and understand how the market can support and fulfil AWE requirements, AWE is requesting interested parties to submit the proforma; available from AWEProcurement@awe.co.uk, including in the title of your email submission "Construction Small Works - [Supplier Name]".

Once the necessary security checks have been carried out using information submitted in the proforma, if successful, the RFI will be sent to the nominated email in your proforma.

Responses to the RFI should be submitted via email to AWEProcurement@awe.co.uk, including in the title of your email submission "Construction Small Works - [Supplier Name]".

We ask that you register your interest in this PIN and respond to the Request for information (RFI) by 25th March 2024 16:00 GMT.

A Supplier Briefing will be hosted virtually on 19th March 2024 14:00 GMT to provide further information to potential bidders.

To receive an invitation to the Supplier Briefing presentation the proforma must be completed and returned by 13th March 13:00 GMT.

The nature of this PIN is such that AWE intends to operate restrictions within the relevant procurement regulations in order to protect essential national security interests. If an economic operator has connections with any hostile entity or foreign states which are deemed by AWE to pose a risk to the UK's national security interests or is otherwise considered not to possess the reliability necessary to exclude risks to the security of the United Kingdom, AWE reserves its right to exclude them from this exercise.

In issuing this PIN and engaging with the market, the AWE is not committing to conduct any procurement in relation to this Programme. Equally non-participation in this Market Engagement will not be taken into account in any future procurement activities and will not preclude any organisation from submitting a tender in any future competitions.

Note: The nature of this contract is such that the award will be subject to supplier's passing AWE's security requirements as dictated by its site licenses.
