II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Magnox (MxL) has procured a number of variants of Ductile Cast Iron Containers (DCICs) from Gesellschaft Für Nuklear-Service mbH (GNS). To make these containers suitable for use, it is necessary to fit a vent assembly to prevent any pressure build-up in the package and to ensure the diffusion of flammable gases, typically hydrogen and methane, from the container. The vent must ensure that pressure within the container during normal operations remains below the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) threshold of 0,5 barg. The vent shall ensure adequate dispersal of flammable gases during storage in the Interim
Storage Facility (ISF) such that the atmosphere in the container remains below the appropriate Lower Flammable Limit (LFL). The scope involves supply of batch order Filter Units (up to 900 Nr units) for GNS Yellow Box® &, GNS MOSAIK® EI Vent Assemblies & Vent Assemblies for the GNS MOSAIK® U-EI DCICs and the associated quality assurance records.

4. Appropriately answered all questions being scored and achieved a score of 60 % or more and be one of the 3 (minimum) to 5 (maximum) highest scoring organisations. If the Bidder failed to achieve 60 % then they would not progress to Tender stage, even if they were in the top 5 i.e. if there are less than 5 that achieve 60 % then we will only take the ones that have 60 % and over forward to the Tender stage.

Scoring weightings are outlined in the PQQ and Scoring Guidance is detailed in the attached ‘PQQ Guidance’ document.
Any failures in the mandatory pass/fail questions will not allow the Bidder to progress to Tender stage, unless the justification provided is extremely strong.
