Explanation
Following competition by Innovate UK, the University of Sheffield were appointed the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre. NAMRC is independent of the supply chain and is not empowered to carry out any commercial manufacturing. They are a not for profit body offering independent technology and innovation and connect businesses with the UK's research and academia. The aim of the Future Container Manufacture is to increase productivity, reduce cost and increase the quality of radioactive containers to meet broad front decommissioning demands and to up skill the commercial manufacturing supply chain. Currently the supply chain are potentially not utilising state of the art technology and by utilising the NAMRC and its High Manufacturing Catapult we can explore the use of new technology for radioactive waste containers. The contract has 2 phases. Phase 1 is for NAMRC to conduct an optioneering study and Phase 2 to develop the detail manufacturing planning and business case to support a Phase 3. If Phase 1 and 2 are successful a third phase will be subject to competition and will aim to deliver the implementation of the developed manufacturing system or facility.
Research and development derogation has been applied to this award as its aim is to develop an optioneering study and business case to underpin a future procurement.
