Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Ltd, a body governed by public law and located in Warrington, UK, is planning a procurement process under the title "Early Legacy 3m3 Boxes" in the industry category of miscellaneous fabricated products and related items. The process is currently in the planning stage with a main focus on goods procurement. The procurement will be conducted through the Engineering and Technology Solutions Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). A market engagement period will run from September to November 2024, culminating in an Invitation to Tender (ITT) in November 2024, with the contract expected to be awarded by March 2025. Initial delivery of the assemblies is scheduled for August 2026. Key products to be supplied include box bodies, lids, bolt sets, liners, anti-flotation plates, and liquor filter modules, primarily for nuclear material processing and storage in West Cumbria.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses particularly in manufacturing and engineering sectors, specialising in products used in nuclear material processing and storage. Companies that can deliver high-quality, fabricated goods with stringent quality assurance and control protocols will find this tender well-suited. The use of the DPS system allows for an uplift in value thresholds, potentially making this a lucrative opportunity for suppliers. Engaging in initial market activities such as the planned webinar in October and pre-qualifying through the DPS could position businesses advantageously for participation in the formal competition process starting in November 2024.
