Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Ltd has initiated a public procurement process for the "Access Services & Insulation (ASI)" framework. This procurement falls under the works category, specifically classified as scaffolding work, and is located in the region of West Cumbria, UKD11. The framework aims to replace the existing Sellafield Industrial Services Framework (SIS) and includes discrete packages of access services and asbestos & insulation services. The procurement is in the award stage, with Sellafield Ltd having signed a contract on 24th September 2024 with KAEFER LIMITED. The framework agreement spans four years, with an estimated maximum value of £95 million, using NEC4 contracts with various pricing options.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial services, scaffolding, asbestos removal, and insulation work. Companies experienced with the NEC4 form of contracts and those equipped to handle the technical and commercial aspects of such extensive projects are well-suited to compete. The procurement emphasises safety, capability, social value, collaboration, and delivery, providing a stable and potentially lucrative engagement in the nuclear decommissioning sector. Firms like KAEFER LIMITED, which have already secured the contract, illustrate the kind of technical proficiency and project management capabilities sought by Sellafield Ltd.

Notice Title

Access Services & Insulation

Notice Description

Sellafield Ltd is responsible for safely operating and decommissioning Europe's largest, most complex nuclear site, which is home to legacy nuclear facilities that are some of the most hazardous buildings in Western Europe. There is a continued need for Sellafield to have access to a specialist Industrial Services and Access Supply Chain through a Framework Agreement to replace the existing Sellafield Industrial Services Framework (SIS).

Lot Information

Lot 1

The main services to be delivered by the ASI Framework are divided into two separate discreet packages of work:

- Access Services: The design, manufacture, insulation, and deployment of access systems including scaffolding, powered access systems, roped access, rigging, cranes and any other systems of providing Sellafield Ltd staff and contractors access to various locations at each of their facilities.
- Asbestos & Insulation Services: Removal and replacement of thermal insulation including asbestos containing materials (ACM) and lagging. Methods employed vary and will include traditional removal methods and complete ACM coated component removal.

The Framework Agreement will be a single lot agreement for 4 years and a maximum value of PS95m though no spending commitment is made to the supply chain,

NEC4 form of contracts will be utilised, employing the Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) and Term Service Contract (TSC). The main pricing options (A, C or E) will be available to Sellafield Ltd depending upon scope, risk & complexity. The use of Option E contracts will be challenged to encourage greater use of C so that reward and risk is shared.

The CSFs reflect the key lessons from the current SIS framework and alignment to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA_ Value Framework and Delivery Model.
