This procurement will involve construction, demolition works, technical services, and waste management across nuclear facilities on the Sellafield site. The deadline for responses is 25th January 2023, and Sellafield aims to conduct a regulated process following the early market engagement phase. This tender for the DNWP offers significant business opportunities for companies in the construction, engineering, waste management, and consultancy sectors. Businesses with expertise in industrial machinery, construction equipment, demolition work, design consultancy, and engineering design services are well-suited to compete. The procurement process presents a chance for businesses to engage with Sellafield through the ATAMIS system and potentially secure a partnership for this long-term decommissioning project. ## Notice Sellafield Ltd is seeking feedback on the proposed commercial model for the DNWP procurement. The DNWP will be the successor of the existing Decommissioning Delivery Partnership (DDP) which is due to end in March 2026. The DNWP multi partner framework has an estimate value of PS4bn - PS5bn over a 15 year duration. The scope for this procurement covers the full suite of construction, demolition related works, associated technical services (including safety case and design) and waste management required to deliver decommissioning tasks and projects. These works will be deployed across nuclear facilities on the Sellafield site that are in operations, post operation clean out (POCO), decommissioning or demolition stages of the asset lifecycle.
