Technical requirements: Suspension of procurement: Prior information notice: Procurement of technical expert services for the sensitivity study of seismic hazard prediction (SENSEI) project in Finland.
SÄTEILYTURVAKESKUS (The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, hereinafter also referred to as ‘STUK’ and ‘authority’) is a public authority operating under the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs of Finland.
The prior information notice suspended with this notice was an announcement of an intended call for tenders regarding technical expert services.
The object of the procurement was related to the authority's responsibility to review seismic hazards in Finnish nuclear power plants and, in particular to a current project by the authority, ‘SENSEI’ concerning sensitivity of seismic hazard predictions.
The service provision of the Lot No 1 (Lot 1) shall concentrate on modelling of sensitivity parameters in different phases in PSHA, such as logic trees and ground motion prediction equations (GMPE), etc. Furthermore, the scope of the service provision is to establish calculation system for sensitivity analyses and execute corresponding analyses. Possibilities to use Monte-Carlo procedure will be studied at least for assessing probability distribution in different phases in PSHA. The service provider of Lot 1 shall also review the work (delivered services) of Lot 2.
The service provision of the Lot No 2 (Lot 2) shall concentrate on synthesizing the information from PSHA studies on studying parameters used in PSHAs, such as activity rates, seismic zoning, maximum magnitude, attenuation parameters, etc. These input parameters shall be scrutinized in light of the previous PSHA studies in Finland and the seismicity of the region. Once the sensitivity of the PSHA parametric modelling is available, Lot 2 experts will re-evaluate the credibility of the input parameter ranges in light of these results, making suggestions for future refinement/extension of the parameter ranges. Furthermore, STUK will decide at a later stage which comparative calculations to Lot 1 work (delivered services) the Lot 2 Service provider would execute.
Review the sensitivity modelling and analysis of PSHAs done in Lots 1 and 2 and reflections to final results to be reported in WP5
The service provision, Lot No 3 (Lot 3) shall concentrate on reviewing the contribution of Lot 1 and corresponding reflections to final results to be reported in WP5.
Review the synthesis of PSHA studies done in Lot 2 and reflections to final results to be reported in WP5
The service provision, Lot No 4 (Lot 4) shall concentrate on reviewing the contribution of Lot 2 and corresponding reflections to final results to be reported in WP5.
Review the sensitivity modelling and analysis of PSHAs done in Lots 1 and 2 and reflections to final results to be reported in WP5
Review the synthesis of PSHA studies done in Lot 2 and reflections to final results to be reported in WP5
Suspension of the Prior information notice due to the compatibility problems in HILMA (The electronic public procurement notice board of government procurement in Finland).
N.B. There was no award criteria set out in the Prior information notice, hence, the indication in II.2.5) is for technical reasons only, in order to proceed with the submission of the form.
