This PIN 2 supplements the previous PIN 1 reference CF-0113800D4L000000iAvzUAE.

As a result of this second PIN and as part of the ongoing market engagement activity, Sellafield Ltd is seeking to obtain feedback on the proposed contract models that are under consideration, in order to understand the position of the market and identify any key issues that the market may perceive with what is being proposed, these are set out in the supporting PACE PIN Market Engagement Information document shared via Atamis, as per the URL link provided below.

Interested parties can provide their feedback on the proposed contracting strategy delivery models and contract term duration by completing a PACE Request for Information (RfI) template which can be obtained from, and when completed submitted via Atamis.

The majority of the work will take place in operational nuclear facilities and in radiologically controlled areas.

The work involves maintaining existing asset condition and providing new asset capabilities when needed.

With the description provided again as high-level examples only, the capabilities that will be required fit broadly into the following work disciplines and service types: - Civil works, including roofing, painting, fencing, roads and paths etc.; - Mechanical works, including heating and ventilation, pipework, steelwork etc.; - Electrical works, including building lighting, alarm systems, instrumentation etc; and - Project works, including Project, Contract & Cost Management etc.

The proposed strategy for the agreement duration is up to a maximum 15-year framework, with an optional break point at year 9.
