Description
In order to support the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Sellafield Ltd requires Hybrid 2 63 Can Racks ("Racks") to store spent fuel.
Two contracts have been awarded for the manufacture, testing, inspection and delivery of Hybrid 2 63 Can Racks to Sellafield Ltd. The Hybrid 2 63 Can Racks are a high integrity, precision engineered, stainless steel, nuclear spent fuel containment system which need to be manufactured in accordance with the design specification set by Sellafield Ltd. The design specification for the Rack is suitable for repeat, production manufacture.
Each of the two contracts awarded has an initial commitment for the supply of 80 racks to Sellafield Ltd (equalling a total of 160 racks). There are however provisions in the contract to enable an increase to demand across both contracts. The overall scope therefore has the potential to result in the delivery of up to 240 racks across the 2 contracts.
The Lowest contract value is based on delivery of 80 racks per supplier (160 in total). The Highest contract value is based on delivery of 240 racks - an assumption here has been made that the optional 80 Racks (above the initial commitment) will be awarded on the basis of a 50/50 split between the two suppliers; however, Sellafield has the discretion either not to award the additional 80 Racks or to award on a different basis than 50/50.
All Contract Values within this Contract Award Notice are also un-escalated figures. Consequently the out-turn contract value will be subject to multiple factors.
The Contract end date is a forecast end date. The Contract is based on delivery of the number of Racks detailed above rather than a specified end date.
