Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Geological Interpretation" is being conducted by Sellafield, located in Seascale, England. This process falls within the planning stage and is focused on geological and geophysical consultancy services. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 6th May 2022, creating a timeline for market engagement ahead of the main tender. The initiative aims to utilise both legacy data and newly acquired datasets for geological interpretation, signalling the beginning of a potential tender exercise for industry professionals.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in geological and geophysical services, particularly those with expertise in seismic data analysis and geological modelling. Smaller enterprises and those within the specialised consultancy sector may find a competitive edge in responding to this opportunity, as the buyer is seeking diverse interpretations and innovative solutions to complex geological challenges. Companies that can demonstrate experience with seismic datasets and advanced interpretation techniques will likely be well-positioned to participate successfully in this procurement process.

Notice Title

Geological Interpretation Reference number: RWM679

Notice Description

RWM require access to specialist resources within the supply chain which have expertise in a diverse range of interpretation techniques, geological settings and industry backgrounds, in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of potential GDF locations to support the Site Evaluation Process. At this stage the requirement is to use legacy data and RWM's soon to be acquired 2D and 3D seismic datasets to perform a series of geological interpretations which will begin the process of characterising the potential host rock volume. The Primary focus of this task is to interpret the available seismic data to produce a detailed understanding of the geometry and stratigraphy of the potential host rock volume, a secondary element is to combine this with legacy borehole data to enhance the characterisation. Additional aspects of the work which RWM may wish to discuss would include the use of other techniques such as rock physics and seismic inversion alongside geological modelling Additional information: This Prior Information Notice is to signal an intention to commence market engagement with those within the relevant professional services market and to alert the market to potential forthcoming tender exercise(s).

RWM anticipate, that due to the complexity of some sites, there will be a range of possible interpretations and therefore are particularly keen to understand their probability and uncertainty.
