AWE Industrial, Medical and Special Gases and Associated Equipment and Services

AWE is looking to appoint a supplier to supply its requirements for industrial, medical and special gases and associated equipment and services post expiry of its existing contract which expires on 31st December 2024. A procurement is required to secure future supplies under a new contract. Whilst AWE is seeking a supply solution managed through a single supplier, the supplier can meet the requirements either directly through its own production facilities or by leveraging its supply chain by sub-contracting. The supply of products and associated services will support the AWE sites at both Aldermaston and Burghfield. At present there are no plans to service other sites, however it should be noted that during the life of the contract term, the infrastructure and layout of the site may change which may in turn lead to required changes in respect of the in scope services.
