This tender falls under the water-treatment work industry category and is in the planning stage. The title of the tender is "Demineralised Water Contingency." The location is Sellafield, Seascale, United Kingdom. The Procurement Stage is at the Planning stage. Key milestone dates include an "Engagement end date" of 4th March 2024. This tender for a demineralised water contingency project presents growth opportunities for businesses in the water treatment and demineralisation services sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in water treatment work and contingency planning would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Sellafield Ltd is looking for suppliers to develop a temporary contingency to supply demineralised water in case of unplanned outages, offering a potential four-year opportunity. Businesses interested in providing fast and flexible support for water treatment solutions should consider submitting responses before the 4th March 2024 deadline. ## Notice Sellafield Ltd (Sellafield) is seeking to obtain market feedback on the proposed Draft Demineralisation Plant Contingency Requirements Functional Specification Spec.Func.Demin_01 and its attractiveness to the market. The Sellafield Demineralised Water Plant (SDWP) supports the operations of the Sellafield site, however, a potential issue exists if SDWP enters a period of prolonged or unplanned outage. Sellafield is looking for a supplier to support in the development of a contingency to supply a temporary demineralised water plant, which will support the continued supply of demineralised water to the Sellafield site. The chosen supplier will be required to support the site in a fast and flexible manner when required. The desired model calls for the supplier to respond within an agreed time and deliver a fully working unit to site and take over the production of demineralised water at the site, which is to be produced to the constraints outlined in the Spec.Func.Demin_01. This unit is to be set-up and controlled by the supplier with no involvement from Sellafield staff. Specification Spec.Func.Demin_01 which specifies the requirements of the contingency arrangement is included with this notice. A decision has been taken by Sellafield to explore the options of having a mobile demineralised water treatment plant as a contingency for SDWP. Sellafield have developed a draft functional specification Spec.Func.Demin_01 that outlines what the demineralised water treatment plant contingency arrangement should be capable of providing should Sellafield's current demineralised water treatment encounter an issue. Potentially the contingency arrangement could be in place for up to a period of 4 years.
