## Summary

The Sellafield Ltd, situated in Seascale, UK, is currently conducting the SIXEP/FHP Roof Refurbishment Project, classified under works in the construction industry. This tender, initiated as an open procedure, addresses the refurbishment of roofing materials to combat rainwater ingress at the Fuel Handling Plant and Sion Exchange Plant facilities. The project has a budget of £15,500,000, and the tender submission deadline has recently been extended to 12 August 2022, with the bid opening scheduled for the same date. The contract period will span approximately four years, allowing for significant remedial work.

This procurement opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in roofing, construction, and materials supply, particularly those experienced in large-scale refurbishment projects. Companies with capabilities in the installation of advanced roofing systems like KALZIP and Sika Decothane, as well as those proficient in managing complex projects within operational industrial sites, will find this tender particularly advantageous. Engaging in this contract not only offers financial growth but also the potential to establish long-term relationships with Sellafield Ltd, a key player in the nuclear decommissioning sector.

## Notice

The Sellafield Ltd (Fuel Handling Plant) FHP and Sion Exchange Plant (SIXEP) have both suffered from rainwater ingress. This Contract opportunity is for the refurbishment and the removal of the existing degraded roofing material and installation of new pre-determined KALZIP standing seam system and Sika Decothane Ultra 25 system roofing materials as clearly set out in the accompanying CS&A Technical Specification to provide a long-term solution to the water ingress issues for the FHP and SIXEP facilities.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Constructed in the 1980s, Fuel Handling Plant (FHP) and Sion Exchange Plant (SIXEP) will need to remain operational until 2062 with final decommissioning planned to be completed in 2100. FHP and SIXEP have both suffered from rainwater ingress resulting in damage to the plant/equipment. As a short term fix, the project had previously patched the roof, however it is not an effective long term strategy to continue patching the roof from either a cost perspective or functional point of view due to the risk of plant shutdowns from water ingress into the facilities. This Contract opportunity is for the refurbishment and the removal of the existing degraded roofing material and the design, removal and installation of new pre-determined KALZIP standing seam system and Sika Decothane Ultra 25 system roofing materials as clearly set out in the accompanying CS&A Technical Specification and completion of the associated enabling works to provide a long-term solution to the water ingress issues for the FHP and SIXEP facilities.
