Lot Information
Lot 1
The scope for PACE will be to deliver jobs, tasks and projects in nuclear facilities within the Spent Fuel Management (SFM) and Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) areas, but with the potential to deliver jobs and tasks across any onsite nuclear facility where needed. The majority of the work will take place in operational nuclear facilities and in radiologically controlled areas. The work involves maintaining existing asset condition and providing new asset capabilities when needed, which requires a level of Sellafield Ltd Integrated Partner engagement, subject matter expertise and assurance. Typically, the work will be in line with the following:
- design, procurement, installation, modifications and commissioning of plant and equipment, and their dismantlement and removal;
- asset care and support activities; and
- integrated project controls and project management.
The delivery of the scope will be via the placement of packages of work that vary in size and complexity. With the description provided as high level examples only, these work packages are categorised as follows:
- Jobs, small work content and short duration such as asset repairs;
- Tasks, medium work content and duration such as an asset replacement;
- Minor Projects, complex work involving multi disciplines such as the replacement of a series of assets ; and
- Gated Projects, high value complex work involving multi disciplines, such as the installation of new types of assets.
With the description provided again as high level examples only, the capabilities that will be required fit broadly into the following work disciplines and service types:
- Civil works, including roofing, painting, fencing, roads and paths etc;
- Mechanical works, including heating and ventilation, pipework, steelwork etc;
- Electrical works, including building lighting, alarm systems, instrumentation etc; and
- Project works, including Project, Contract & Cost Management etc.
The proposed strategy for the agreement duration is up to a maximum 15-year framework, with an optional break point at year 9.
The value of the work will be subject to ongoing governance and approval on an annual basis, but for planning purposes the mid-range estimate of the anticipated framework value across all the work package categories for the maximum duration of 15 years is PS2,400,000,000 (PS2,400m). Additional information: As referenced to in I.3) Communication, the market engagement activity will be managed via the shared service Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) OneNDA eCommercial Systems powered by Atamis (Atamis), which can be accessed via the URL https://atamis-2464.my.site.com/s/Welcome .
Along with the issue of further PIN's going forward, Atamis will be used to facilitate and provide details of further Market Engagement activity that we intend to use going forward such as webinars, face to face and further RfI requests. It is therefore important that interested organisations monitor Contracts Finder, the Find a Tender Service and Atamis for further PIN's and market engagement activities relating to the PACE Contract Opportunity.
If you are not already registered on Atamis, you can access using the record reference C17465, the PACE PIN Market Engagement Information and the PACE RfI template documents referred to in II.1.4.1 Short Description above.
If you are interested in providing feedback on our proposed contract model construct types to, you should again access Atamis using record reference C17465 and upload and return your completed RfI template by attaching it to a message using the 'New Messages' functionality. Completed RfIs should be returned at the earliest opportunity and preferably by 12:00 on Friday 12th April 2024.
