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.

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.

The Requirement is for the provision of a fit-for-purpose, cost effective service providing access to different waste container types (Containers, UN Drums, Soft Sided Packages, NOVAPAKS), and associated services for all NWS customers with a Waste Services Contract

Lot 1: Transportable ISO Freight Waste Containers (and associated equipment)

Lot 2: Manufacturing UN Approved Transportable Waste Drums, design, supply and distribution of specific UN Approved drums for the transport of solid and liquid materials
