Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Sellafield Ltd, which is based in Calder Bride, Seascale, UK, seeking services for the "Provision of Operating, Maintenance and Management Support Services" for its Combined Heat and Power Plant at the Fellside site. The process is currently in the Award stage, having been completed on 1st June 2021. This contract, valued at £39.6 million, was awarded to PX Limited, and it focuses on the ongoing operation and maintenance of the existing CHP unit until the new Steam Generation Plants become operational, now expected in March 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in energy services, plant maintenance, and decommissioning. Companies that specialise in the care, repair, and upgrade of steam and gas turbine systems, as well as those with expertise in compliance with industrial regulations, would be particularly well-suited to explore competitive options when Sellafield eventually seeks further engagement for the operation and management of their CHP assets. Given the technical nature of the work and the existing relationship with PX Limited, future tenders may favour bidders who can demonstrate robust technical capabilities and understanding of Sellafield's unique operational requirements.

    "description": "The Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) situated at Fellside focusses on the safety critical function of providing steam to Sellafield site. CHP is an ageing fragile facility near the end of its design life. In or around August 2015 Sellafield undertook a review of current and future site steam requirements, concluding that future steam delivery for site operations would be via two Steam Generation Plants (SGP). Work on the construction of the SGP commenced in July 2015 and were due to be operational by 2021. SGP Project suffered delays resulting in the Operational Date for the SGP being revised to March 2023. CHP operations are required by SL until replacement or renewal of these facilities following which CHP will be wound down in preparation for decommissioning and demolition. The strategy from CHP to boiler only operations necessitated an extension of the contractual arrangements with the current CHP ops and maintenance provider until the SGP became operational. Given the delays a new contract with the existing operations and maintenance provider PX Limited has been entered into to safely ensure continued operations of CHP which, given the age of the facility requires ongoing significant care, repair and maintenance. This will include undertaking key activities for plant upgrades to comply with Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU), and provision of care and maintenance of aged and obsolete equipment. It was intended that PX heavily involved in key transitional activities leading to full operations. It was determined that in the circumstances competition to deliver the services was absent for technical reasons and that, pursuant Regulation 32(2)(b)(II) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, Sellafield may award a contract to PX using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the Find a Tender Service . In particular, based upon assessment of the market ,Sellafield considered that there was no practical alternative to continuing to engage PX to deliver steam and provide care, repair and maintenance services whilst migrating to a new system. Given, in particular, that PX is the only organisation with detailed understanding of CHP and Sellafield's specific technical and operational requirements necessary to ensure safe and effective provision of services. Engaging a substitute provider during a transitional period would have carried very significant operational risks for Sellafield. Since awarding this contract Sellafield Ltd has had a further change in it steam strategy and has terminated the SGP Project. Sellafield intends to bring to the market the opportunity to operate and maintain the CHP.",
