The procurement pertains to works related to construction and civil engineering, including site preparation, building installation, and maintenance services. This procurement specifically targets the North West region of the United Kingdom, with a significant projected contract value of £2.4 billion. The market engagement phase is active, with the key date for the engagement end set on 25 October 2024. This process is designed to inform potential bidders and encourage early collaboration among suppliers. This procurement opportunity offers substantial prospects for businesses specialising in large-scale construction and engineering projects. Companies with capabilities in site preparation, building installations, and specialised trade construction works can find growth potential through this contract. It encourages firms to network and form partnerships early on, enhancing their bids' attractiveness and competitive edge. Ideal participants include large enterprises with extensive experience in the outlined CPV categories, as small and VCSE businesses are not deemed suitable for this high-value contract. The procurement process includes a matchmaking service, both through capability listing and personalised matching, to foster collaborations that could lead to successful bids and project execution. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice 4 (PIN 4A), 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. This PIN 4A supplements the previous: * PIN 1 reference CF-0113800D4L000000iAvzUAE * PIN 2 reference CF-0133500D4L000000iAvzUAE * PIN 3 Reference CF-0155800D4L000000iAvzUAE; and * PIN 4 Reference CF-0188400D4L000000iAvzUAE Following extensive feedback from those organisations that have registered their interest in PACE (Projects and Asset Care Execution) on ATAMIS and through PINs, we are aware that many companies are looking for suitable partners to work with, or jointly bid, on this tender and subsequent delivery if successful. In some cases, this is due to the size of the opportunity proposed and the breadth of capabilities required for PACE. This is an opportunity for members of the supply chain to develop relationships well before tender release to enable a more attractive bid to be submitted. Although SL cannot recommend any specific partnership or relationship, we have decided to offer two independent services to aid the matchmaking between companies that can take advantage of one or both services: 1) List a supplier capability advert for networking: * For a registered company to display a short notice detailing their capabilities / specialisms. * SL will collate a list to be available for registered suppliers to view. * The template to be completed includes a description of the company, capabilities/specialisms, and contact details. Note, this listing will contain a maximum of 50 words and will be available for any registered supplier to view on Atamis using the record reference C17465. 2) Register to join a personalised matchmaking search: * Sellafield Ltd (SL) is supporting a personalised matchmaking service that will be provided by epi Consulting (nuclear), our contractor for this service. * Companies will need to complete a short electronic form on ATAMIS with details of size, specialisms and the type of partner required. * epi will endeavour to establish 'potential matches' and then circulate them to both parties. * We encourage all suppliers who wish to take part, to fill in the electronic form as soon as possible so that the first 'matches' can be issued shortly afterwards. * Updates will be provided on a regular basis. Market engagement activity is managed via the shared service Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) OneNDA eCommercial Systems powered by Atamis (Atamis), which can be accessed via the URL https://atamis-2464.my.site.com/s/Welcome .
