## Summary

Sellafield Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, has concluded the procurement process for the "LINC 144 - Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Technology Development" contract. The process is now in the award stage, with the contract status marked as complete. The initiative aimed at designing cost-effective waste containers using Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete technology for long-term storage of Low-Level Waste. This contract was awarded to MCM Environmental Services Ltd, commencing on 15 October 2025 and concluding by 28 February 2026. The procurement method involved limited competition under the "Below threshold" category, focusing on services and feasibility studies within the region designated as UKD61.

This tender presents ample business growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in civil engineering and material technology development. It calls for firms capable of undertaking technological innovation in structural design and manufacture, specifically relating to waste management solutions. The emphasis on Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete suggests a demand for companies experienced in materials science and digital simulation for performance testing. Businesses with a proven track record in delivering similar services to government bodies, especially those familiar with the requirements of the Civil Structural & Architectural sector, would find this contract beneficial for extending their service portfolio and gaining a foothold in public sector procurement.

## Notice

Sellafield has a requirement to design and manufacture waste containers that are cost effective with respect to material, manufacturability, and infrastructure (throughput driven). These waste containers (WC) will be primarily used the for long-term storage of solid Low-Level Waste (LLW) which are intended to be temporarily stored in CHILW (interim storage facility) and subsequently in a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) material is identified as a potential solution for a cost-effective waste container solution. Therefore, under the governance of the Manufactured Product Organisation (MPO), the Civil Structural & Architectural (CS&A) capability is carrying out a series of gated technical exercises to establish a calibrated material model which will enable the substantiation of the waste container's performance requirements via digital simulation.
