The decommissioning programme at Sellafield includes the removal of nuclear waste from ageing storage facilities. In order to remove the waste from one such facility, it is envisaged that up to 15 Packages are needed to enclose and transport the waste in support of the retrievals operations. The Packages are required to be utilised in a hazardous radioactive environment to allow the commencement of waste retrievals and transport of the radioactive waste to upstream facilities. Sellafield is conducting this procurement using the competitive procedure with negotiation in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. It is intended that 2 suppliers will be appointed to a framework agreement to provide the packages. In the first instance, each supplier appointed to the framework will manufacture and deliver one "validation package" each, on a cost reimbursable basis. The remaining packages will be awarded either by way of further such "validation packages" or by way of a mini-competition or direct award between the two suppliers on a fixed price, cost reimbursable or target cost basis. The accompanying procurement documentation contains further detail. It is intended that this Framework may also be used for the inclusion of the delivery of additional goods and/or ancillary services in order to satisfy any future unforeseen Sellafield requirements.
