Magnox has an approved strategy for the procurement of the works, and this call for market engagement provides both an opportunity for the supply chain to find out more about the works and for Magnox to learn more about the supply chain and its skills and experience to deliver on these requirements.

Magnox will be holding a market engagement webinar at 14:00 on 15 December 2022. Companies are invited to register for the webinar through the Atamis Message Centre confirming the names of proposed attendees. Registration closes at midday on 15 December 2022.
