Currently in the planning stage, this initiative is aimed at identifying innovative solutions for the remediation of pond walls and floors associated with the decommissioning of nuclear fuel ponds. A key milestone is the engagement end date set for 22nd December 2020, with a challenge statement to be published on the Game Changers website to provide detailed technical requirements. Interested parties must submit their applications by 7th January 2021 and the process is being facilitated through the Game Changers programme. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those with expertise in environmental remediation, research and development consultancy, and design services in hazardous waste management. Companies that can offer innovative approaches and demonstrate technical capacity in addressing the unique challenges of nuclear site remediation will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender can potentially lead to future procurement opportunities, making it a valuable prospect for SMEs in the relevant sectors. ## Notice This PIN is to inform the supply chain that Sellafield Ltd and Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL) are seeking novel solutions or improvements to existing processes to remediate pond walls and floors prior to final decommissioning. Nuclear fuel ponds are used to store spent fuel from nuclear reactors. Both organisations have similar pond designs and are collaborating via Game Changers. This challenge will be administered though the Game Changers programme and advertised on their website during November and December 2020. A challenge statement published on the website will provide a detailed overview of the challenge and Sellafield Ltd's and DSRL's technical requirements along with any constraints and restrictions. A workshop will be held on 8th December 2020 where Sellafield Ltd and DSRL will further describe the challenge. Details of the workshop will be shared on the Game Changers website. 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 7th January 2021. Interested organisations should note that the issue of this PIN may not result in a full procurement exercise being conducted. The outcome of the Game Changers challenge will determine whether a full procurement exercise will follow. We would therefore encourage any organisation which has the capability, knowledge and experience in the remediation of concrete structures to respond to this PIN and visit the Game Changers website for further information on the Game Changers challenge. If Sellafield Ltd or DSRL progresses to a future procurement opportunity for remediation of their ponds, the learning gathered from the Game Changers technology study may be shared with all potential suppliers, noting that commercially sensitive information will not be included.
