Technical requirements: Sellafield Limited (‘SL’) wants to bring together four partners (‘Lot Partners’) to collaborate with one another and with SL to deliver the portfolio of Major Projects it will be expected to deliver under its Site Licence obligations over the next 20 years. As part of delivering this portfolio of Major Projects, SL wants to use the expertise of these Lot Partners to help improve the outcomes of Major Projects (e.g. delivery to time, to budget), to help develop its internal delivery capabilities (e.g. design and engineering capability) and to bring about Site-Wide Project Delivery Improvements. In the first instance SL will require the Lot Partners to deliver three initial projects: SPRS Retreatment Plant (‘SRP’), SIXEP Contingency Plant (‘SCP’) and Replacement Analytical Project (‘RAP’). SL may require Lot Partners to deliver further Major Projects (subject to more detailed project definition and following relevant internal approvals).
Candidates may express an interest for one Lot only, save in respect of Lots 3 and 4 where Candidates may express an interest for both of those Lots. However, Candidates can only be awarded a maximum of 1 Lot. Further detail will be set out in the procurement documents to be issued at the same time as the PPP contract notice (estimated date of publication is 24.4.2017).
