Project and Asset Care Execution (PACE)

This Prior Information Notice (PIN), without call for competition, is to alert the market that Sellafield Ltd intends to commence market engagement activity for the forthcoming Project and Asset Care Execution (PACE) Contract Opportunity.

As a result of this PIN and as part of the market engagement activity, Sellafield Ltd is seeking to obtain feedback on the proposed different contracting strategy delivery models, which use a varying number of Integrated Delivery Partners and the proposed long 15 year contract terms duration, that are currently under consideration, as set out in the supporting PACE PIN 1 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.

The value of the work will be subject to ongoing governance and approval on an annual basis, but for planning purposes the mid-range estimate of the anticipated framework value across all of the work package categories for the maximum duration of 15 years is £2,400,000,000 (£2,400m).

The market engagement activity will be managed via the shared service Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) OneNDA eCommercial Systems powered by Atamis (Atamis), which can be accessed via the URL https://atamis-2464.my.site.com/s/Welcome .
