Description

The Remediation Services Framework is procured, on behalf of UK Government, by the Department for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear (CBRN) Emergencies Team. The Government will however reserve the right to use other services other than the Framework in the case of CBRN emergency. The Defra CBRN Emergencies Team increases the UK's capacity and capability to respond and recover from deliberate and accidental releases of CBRN materials, and from releases of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) including nuclear accidents, regardless of scale where the incident is in excess of local capability and/or knowledge and authorities request help from Defra services. These services include advice, guidance and access to practical CBRN recovery services to support those who will be responsible for remediation. Defra is seeking to establish a framework agreement of specialist suppliers to provide contingency remediation and related services in the areas of CBRN contamination. Scope of service is to supply, transport, deploy and implement remediation and waste management service(s) for use by the Contracting Authority in a CBRN or HAZMAT incident. 'CBRN' is the abbreviation commonly used to describe the deliberate or malicious use of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear materials with the intention to cause significant harm or disruption. HAZMAT refers to a material that would be a danger to life or to the environment if released - whether deliberately or accidentally - without precautions. The number and scale of CBRN incidents over the 8-year framework is extremely difficult to predict. As a result, the Authority reserves the right to rely on Schedule 8 Paragraph 1 (Provided for in the Contract) of the Procurement Act 2023 to increase the value of the framework at any stage during the lifetime of the open framework. Any increase in value will relate solely to opportunities within the scope of this Tender Notice.
