Since 1993 the Fellside Combined Heat and Power Plant's (CHPP) primary role is the production of steam to the Sellafield site, the plant has a secondary role in the production of electricity to be exported to the National Grid. The CHPP is now an ageing fragile facility operating beyond its design life. The site comprises an existing Gas Turbine unit (GT1) and its associated ancillary equipment which have been in operation since 1993 and are expected to continue operating until 2030. The generation of steam is supplemented by 4 boilers in the Fellside Boiler Park. The boilers are expected to be operational until 2045. The duration of the agreement is six years with an option to extend for up to two years. The current expectation is that the agreement will start mid-2025 and operate to mid-2031 (six years) or mid 2033 (eight years). The scope of the agreement will include a period of combined Gas Turbine and Boiler operations up to 2030 and then boiler only to 2031. There is an opportunity that Gas Turbine and Boiler operations may be extended to 2032. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a294b715-4eea-4cd5-830a-a5f16d827496 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Dec 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Jul 2025 - 25 Jul 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £128,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SELLAFIELD LTD | | Locality | SEASCALE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA20 1PG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Gosforth | | Westminster constituency | Whitehaven and Workington | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 42 - Industrial machinery - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 65 - Public utilities - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 31124000 - Steam-turbine generator and related apparatus - 42112100 - Steam turbines - 42112300 - Gas turbines - 42113100 - Parts of steam turbines - 42160000 - Boiler installations - 42162000 - Steam-generating boilers - 42163000 - Steam generators - 42164000 - Auxiliary plant for use with boilers - 50430000 - Repair and maintenance services of precision equipment - 65410000 - Operation of a power plant - 71314300 - Energy-efficiency consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Oct 2023 at 15:42 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a294b715-4eea-4cd5-830a-a5f16d827496 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a294b715-4eea-4cd5-830a-a5f16d827496 20th October 2023 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/964ae57a-2775-4162-87df-f73f5808cae8 Template Technical Dialogue Briefing Paper 20 October 2023 Rev 01 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
