This project falls under the industry category of "Nuclear-power station construction work" and is currently at the planning stage. A key milestone to note is the engagement end date set for 16 September 2020, when interested parties are expected to respond with their capabilities. This early contractor involvement aims to refine the delivery strategy for Highly Active Analytical Services Cells (HAASC) and could lead to further tendering activities anticipated in 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in engineering, fabrication, and design services, particularly those specialising in nuclear projects. Companies that excel in mechanical and electrical installations, as well as those with experience in constructing complex systems like analytical service cells, will be well-positioned to participate in this procurement. The planned virtual workshop will allow shortlisted suppliers to showcase their expertise, fostering potential collaborations and paving the way for future contracts within a critical industry sector. ## Notice The Replacement Analytical Project is looking to undertake early contractor involvement to support the delivery strategy for the Highly Active Analytical Services Cells (HAASC). Currently the in-house design team is producing a Preliminary Design Stage 3D model, a suite of DPDs at detail design which will cumulate into the production of an ITT for a design and build contract for the HAASC. The in-house team are initially looking to undertake a workshop (virtual) with the supply chain to discuss the above strategy. Interested parties therefore are requested to respond and brief demonstrate your current capabilities associated with the Works. Additional information: The Replacement Analytical Project is looking to undertake early contractor involvement to support the delivery strategy for the Highly Active Analytical Services Cells (HAASC). Currently the in-house design team is producing a Preliminary Design Stage 3D model, a suite of DPDs at detail design which will cumulate into the production of an ITT for a design and build contract for the HAASC. The in-house team are initially looking to undertake a workshop (virtual) with the supply chain to discuss the above strategy. Interested parties therefore are requested to respond and brief demonstrate your current capabilities associated with the Works. It is envisaged that this workshop will attended by a combination of E&I, and Mechanical designers along with Fabrication organisations. All suppliers who are shortlisted and attend the workshop will be invited to tender at a later stage, anticipated 2021. The HAASC has 6 workstations, each workstation is made up of a window and a pair of MSMs which will be used to prepare and analyses samples. The MSMs and Windows will be provided under a different arrangement. The main features of this scope of work, i.e. HAASC, comprises of the following component parts: * Fixed Liner - This is a stainless steel structure that provides the containment, it is to be installed in one piece with the frame being used for both installation purposes and to provide support during operations. The liner will have a number of penetrations for windows, through wall plugs and analytical equipment to be deployed through, as well as the main structure there are a number of features internally, such as the internal transfer mechanism and the trap door port. * Direct Import Facility (DIF) - this assembly allows the lid of packages / flasks to be removed remotely (behind shielding) before transferring the samples to the underside of the Fixed Liner and interfaces with the trap door port. The DIF is made up of a Delidding Machine, Rail Module & Bogie. * Oversized equipment import / export - This feature utilises existing infrastructure in the area to remotely connect a box allowing for larger items to be imported / exported into the cell. Further detail of the above can be provided upon request. All costs and expenses incurred by the supply chain in connection with this workshop and all future stages of the early contractor involvement process will be borne by the supply chain. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/51f26f71-4ddd-4383-bee8-671d8d653784 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Sep 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SELLAFIELD | | Locality | MOOR ROW | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA24 3HW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Egremont North and St Bees | | Westminster constituency | Whitehaven and Workington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45251110 - Nuclear-power station construction work - 45255400 - Fabrication work - 71321000 - Engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations for buildings ## Release History - 24 Aug 2020 at 05:44 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/51f26f71-4ddd-4383-bee8-671d8d653784 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/51f26f71-4ddd-4383-bee8-671d8d653784 24th August 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/case-studies/shared-services-alliance-ssa-for-nuclear-decommissioning-estate ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
