C14801 - Manufacture & Supply of SRP Products

Sellafield Ltd is responsible for the safe, secure, and appropriate storage of nuclear materials. As materials, containment layers, and stores age, periodic reprocessing and repackaging is required to ensure this responsibility can continue to be met.<br/><br/>The inventory held within Sellafield Ltd’s Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) value stream is at such a point, that the Sellafield Product and Resides Stores (SPRS) Retreatment Plan (SRP) is due to start operating in FY 2028/29 to retreat and repackage nuclear material to enable safe and secure long-term storage.<br/><br/>Sellafield Ltd requires manufacturing capability (using Sellafield Ltd’s NPI process) for the supply of quality, repeatable, volume manufactured products for the reprocessing and repackaging operations within SRP for the long-term storage of the nuclear material (the SRP Products). SRP Products are high integrity, precision engineered products and perform critical functions in the long-term storage of nuclear material.<br/><br/>There are five (5) SRP Products in early design maturity which fall into the following two product types:<br/><br/>1. Container Products (those products that will form part of the long-term storage package), including:<br/>i. SRP Outer Container (Body and Lid);<br/>ii. SRP Intermediate Container (Body and Hollow Plug Assembly);<br/>iii. SRP Inner Container (Body and Lid);<br/><br/>2. Consumable Products (single-use process enablers required to safely operate the SRP facility that do not form part of the long-term storage package), including:<br/>iv. SRP Package Carrier (SPC) (Body and Lid);<br/>v. SRP Sphincter Plug (Body and Lid).<br/><br/>Sellafield Ltd has appointed one (1) supplier to provide manufacturing capability to support design, manufacture, and supply of the SRP Products.<br/><br/>Details in relation to the estimated annual volumes can be found in the Procurement documentation published via the OneNDA e-procurement system Atamis under reference C14801.
