Project and Asset Care Execution (PACE) (PIN 4A)

This Prior Information Notice 4 (PIN 4A), without call for competition, is to alert the market that Sellafield Ltd is continuing with market engagement activity for the forthcoming Project and Asset Care Execution (PACE) Contract Opportunity.

Following extensive feedback from those organisations that have registered their interest in PACE (Projects and Asset Care Execution) on ATAMIS and through PINs, we are aware that many companies are looking for suitable partners to work with, or jointly bid, on this tender and subsequent delivery if successful. In some cases, this is due to the size of the opportunity proposed and the breadth of capabilities required for PACE. This is an opportunity for members of the supply chain to develop relationships well before tender release to enable a more attractive bid to be submitted.

Although SL cannot recommend any specific partnership or relationship, we have decided to offer two independent services to aid the matchmaking between companies that can take advantage of one or both services:

1) List a supplier capability advert for networking: • For a registered company to display a short notice detailing their capabilities / specialisms. • SL will collate a list to be available for registered suppliers to view on Atamis. • The template to be completed includes a description of the company, capabilities/specialisms, and contact details. Note, this listing will contain a maximum of 50 words and will be available for any registered supplier to view on Atamis using the record reference C17465.

2) Register to join a personalised matchmaking search: • Sellafield Ltd (SL) is supporting a personalised matchmaking service that will be provided by epi Consulting (nuclear), our contractor for this service. • Companies will need to complete a short electronic form on ATAMIS with details of size, specialisms and the type of partner required. • epi will endeavour to establish ‘potential matches’ and then circulate them to both parties. • We encourage all suppliers who wish to take part, to fill in the electronic form as soon as possible so that the first ‘matches’ can be issued shortly afterwards. • Updates will be provided on a regular basis.

Please note – • This is an optional service. • The personalised matchmaking service is to be run independently by epi Consulting (nuclear) on behalf of Sellafield Ltd. • No benefit or advantage will be given to any organisation that chooses to be involved (or not) in terms of consideration of bids for PACE Procurement. • The service aims to connect organisations, however following sharing of contact information it is the responsibility of the organisations to make this successful. • Further opportunity for networking at the PACE Market Engagement Event on Thursday 14th November 2024.
