This procurement is currently in the planning stage and aims to carry out work in operational nuclear facilities, requiring capabilities in various construction and maintenance disciplines. The market engagement activity will conclude on 22nd November 2024 at 23:59. The engagement is facilitated to gather market feedback and provide information on the PACE opportunity, including the bidding strategy, commercial model updates, and key commercial principles. The anticipated framework value is estimated at £2,400,000,000 over a potential 15-year term. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in civil, mechanical, electrical, and project works, making it particularly suited for large enterprises given the high-value nature of the contract and the complexity of work in radiologically controlled environments. Companies specialising in roofing, painting, fencing, roads and paths, heating and ventilation, pipework, steelwork, building lighting, alarm systems, instrumentation, and project management are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for significant business growth. While SMEs and VCSEs are not the primary target, any business with the relevant expertise and capacity to handle large-scale construction and maintenance projects in specialised settings stands to benefit from participating in this procurement process. Interested businesses should register on Atamis to view detailed documents and submit feedback by 12:00 on 22nd November 2024. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice 5 (PIN 5), without call for competition, is to alert the market that Sellafield Ltd is continuing with market engagement activity for the forthcoming Project and Asset Care Execution (PACE) Contract Opportunity.
