OPCW Inspections' Travel and Accommodation

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has awarded a contract for the provision of Travel and Accommodation for the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) UK National Authority (NA).

The NA oversees the operation of the CWC in the United Kingdom. As a State Party (SP), the UK submits, to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), detailed declarations of companies' and other sites' activity with chemicals that are listed in the CWC.

The NA must make arrangements to receive an Inspection Team (IT) at a Point of Entry (POE), to escort them to the site and thereafter during the inspection, and to provide transport for them throughout the inspection until they depart.
