Description

The UK government is fully committed to our independent, continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent, and through its 'triple lock pledge', to delivering the upgrades and programmes necessary to maintain and renew the country's defence nuclear capabilities. The scale and complexity of the work required is a critical National Endeavour, and includes substantial investment in infrastructure development across the Defence Nuclear Enterprise. We have two complex infrastructure programmes: • AWE's Future Material Campus (FMC) project focuses on the required investment to renew AWE's manufacturing and storage capability for nuclear components and investing in new capabilities for nuclear material recovery. • Future Infrastructure Programme (FIP) - focusing on delivering AWE's wider infrastructure needs in relation to new office accommodation; laboratories; testing facilities, site services, and advanced manufacturing facilities. This PIN specifically relates to potential supply chain engagement required to deliver the construction works aspects only of the FMC programme. The Future Materials Campus is AWE's flagship programme and is a part of a wider, multi-year multi-billion-pound portfolio of infrastructure investment that will support us in our overall purpose to protect the UK through nuclear science and technology and enable nuclear science for generations to come. AWE is seeking interest from suppliers to take part in pre-market engagement activities regarding the construction works aspects only of the establishment of this multi-billion-pound, multi-year programme of works to support its renewed manufacturing and storage capability for nuclear components. The high level CPV code listed illustrates the breadth of support associated with the delivery of the FMC programme. This is limited to construction related capabilities across the full project lifecycle in the following areas: • Construction services spanning enabling works through, construction, fit out and commissioning of both complex nuclear buildings and a broader range of non-nuclear facilities together with the associated infrastructure of both.
