Published requirement description

Sellafield Ltd (Sellafield) is seeking to obtain feedback on the proposed lotting strategy for the DNWP procurement.

The DNWP will be the successor of the existing Decommissioning Delivery Partnership (DDP) which is due to end in March 2026. The DNWP multi partner framework has an estimate value of £4bn - £5bn over a 15 year duration. The scope for this procurement covers the full suite of construction, demolition related works, associated technical services (including safety case and design) and waste management required to deliver decommissioning tasks and projects. These works will be deployed across nuclear facilities on the Sellafield site that are in operations, post-operation clean out (POCO), decommissioning or demolition stages of the asset lifecycle.

Further details are contained in supporting document DNWP_PIN2 (available in CTM)

Please note this PIN is supplementary to PIN 1 published in on 2nd August 2022 (reference FTS 2022-471510).
