This initiative is focused on the nuclear fuels industry and is based in the United Kingdom. The key engagement milestone has a deadline of 14th June 2021, by which interested parties are encouraged to complete their applications. An online workshop will take place on 25th May 2021 to provide further clarity on the challenge, which seeks novel solutions for preventing and minimising leaks from the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo compartments. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in technology and innovative processes related to nuclear safety and leak prevention. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas are particularly well-suited to respond, as the initiative aims to explore both novel solutions and improvements to existing processes. Suppliers who can meet the outlined technical requirements are invited to engage, and those with relevant experience are encouraged to visit the Game Changers website for more information and participation details. ## Notice This PIN is to inform the supply chain that Sellafield Ltd are seeking novel solutions or improvements to existing processes to prevent / minimise leaks from the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo (MSSS) compartments 1-6.

Interested technology providers should complete and submit a Game Changers application via the Game Changers website www.gamechangers.technology. The challenge is open to any organisation who feel they can meet the technical requirements. The closing date for applications will be 14th June 2021. Interested organisations should note that the issue of this PIN may not result in a full procurement exercise being conducted.
