## Summary

The procurement process for the "Decommissioning Nuclear Waste Partnership" project by Sellafield Limited is currently in the planning stage. The project falls under the industry category of construction works with a value of £4.6 billion. Sellafield has issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to provide updates on their Lotting Strategy, collaboration approach, and market engagement event. Suppliers are invited to submit responses via Sellafield's ATAMIS system by the Response Deadline of 20th July 2023. The project aims to address decommissioning tasks across various nuclear facilities on the Sellafield site that are in different stages of the asset lifecycle.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specializing in design consultancy, construction works, engineering services, waste management, and related fields. Businesses offering services for nuclear decommissioning, construction consultancy, safety cases, waste analysis, and mechanical engineering installations are well-suited to compete. The project's scope includes a multi-partner framework lasting 15 years, requiring a wide range of technical expertise and services to deliver decommissioning tasks effectively. With the project progressing towards a Contract Notice in summer 2023, it is a prime opportunity for businesses to engage with Sellafield and contribute to the decommissioning efforts at the Sellafield Site.

* provide an update on Sellafield's proposed Lotting Strategy;

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.
