In plain English
The buyer wants a contractor to carry out enabling work and strip-out at the Windscale Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (WAGR) site at Sellafield, a shut-down nuclear facility. The work prepares the buildings for final decommissioning and demolition, including removing equipment, handling low and intermediate level radioactive waste, removing asbestos, and decontaminating areas. The estimated value is £10m to £20m.
What the buyer wants
• Plan and deliver strip-out, radioactive waste handling and removal, asbestos removal, decontamination and surveys inside a live nuclear site, under its site rules and safety regime. • Provide suitably qualified and experienced staff, temporary works such as scaffolding and enclosures, and enabling equipment, plus the quality documents and plant modification paperwork that go with them. • Support emergency and urgent repairs for operations teams, and hand the site back in a reinstated condition with full waste documentation.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small businesses would be disqualified by the lack of nuclear site experience, the need for a licensed asbestos and radioactive waste track record, the security clearance requirement, and the scale of the contract, which would need a large, financially strong supplier with a proven nuclear delivery record.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
