## Summary

The current procurement process, initiated by Sellafield, focuses on the supply of Cementitious Powders, specifically applicable to the cement industry. The contract is identified by reference number LLWRP2122-EK2032 and is located in Holmrook, North West England. Presently in the planning stage, the engagement is set to conclude by 26th November 2021. This tender is crucial as the existing contract will expire on 31st July 2022, indicating the necessity for suppliers to express their interest in this supply opportunity.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of construction materials, particularly those that can provide Ordinary Portland Cement conforming to specific British standards. Suppliers prepared to meet the specifications outlined—including grade CEM I 42,5N or CEM I 52,5N—will be well-suited to compete. Companies in the construction or manufacturing sectors, especially those with experience in low-level waste encapsulation processes, are encouraged to participate in this procurement to foster business growth and continuity in this vital supply chain.

## Notice

The NDA Group uses cementitious powders during the encapsulation process. LLW Repository Limited (LLWR), and Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL) use Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) for low level waste encapsulation, supplied to standard specifications. The current Contract expires on 31st July 2022 therefore a tender will be required to replace this contract to ensure continuity of supply. This PIN is seeking expressions of interest from suitable providers. Additional information: Lot 1 Supply of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to LLWR and DSRL Must conform to BS EN 197-1:2011 and be grade CEM I 42,5N or CEM 1 52.5N. It should be noted that although CEM I 42,5 is the stated standard on current supplies, the material routinely supplied is CEM I 52,5, which is acceptable.
