1. What is a commercial pipeline?
A commercial pipeline is a forward look of potential commercial activity for an organisation.
It’s a live tool, updated regularly, providing a list of future commercial activities planned by a contracting authority over a defined period and over a designated transactional spend level. It includes future activity even if funding hasn’t been secured.
A pipeline allows a contracting authority to forward plan and clearly map out the expected future commercial activity (new contract or major contract change or extension) that it’s likely to need.
The pipeline can be used alongside other information on internal business planning and governance stages, and other related activities.
By mapping out this management information and keeping this regularly updated, organisations can:
- give enough planning time for developing and executing a robust commercial strategy, making sure that all business and commercial options have been thoroughly explored
- make the market aware of future opportunities, ensuring a competitive market exists
- outline when the required services are intended to be procured
- track commercial delivery
- give clear management information to inform current and future resourcing for commercial delivery
- reduce the need for unwarranted contract extensions by improved planning
- ensure transparency when going to market
2. What is procurement on a page?
Procurement on a page gives additional information on the scope of key procurement opportunities, by expanding upon the existing descriptors in the quarterly procurement plan.
Each Complete Tender Management (CTM) Planned Procurement (CTM PP) number is unique to the specific procurement. This enables the supply chain to cross reference from the quarterly procurement plan to the individual procurements on a page and vice versa.
Due to the nature of our business, we recognise understanding the procurement opportunities may not be immediately clear from the simple procurement title included in the procurement plan.
The purpose of the document is to provide the supply chain with greater visibility of our key procurements by expanding on the procurement detail.
The procurements on a page document is intended as a guide and specific procurement details will be made available to the supply chain through the normal competition process.

5. Tranche B 3m³ box procurement
| Planned procurement ID: | 5882 |
|---|---|
| Procurement category: | Engineering Equipment Systems and Products (EES&P) |
| Project Description: | The Tranche B 3m³ box supply project is part of the 3m³ box programme that sits within the retrievals value stream. The 3m³ box programme exists to provide high integrity stainless steel containers (referred to as boxes) for the safe storage of Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) which currently resides in a number of facilities (silos and ponds) on the Sellafield site. Once filled with ILW waste, the boxes will initially be stored in shielded stores above ground on the Sellafield site. It is intended that in the future the NDA will provide a Geological Deposit Facility (GDF) where the boxes will be stored safely below ground. This facility has not currently been constructed. The scope of the Tranche B project is to successfully deliver a competition to procure c15,000 3m³ Boxes to enable waste retrievals from the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo (PFCS), Magnox Swarf Storage Silo (MSSS), and First Generation Magnox Storage Pond (FGMSP). |
| Scope: | The scope of the Tranche B procurement is the manufacture, assembly, testing, inspection and delivery to Sellafield Ltd of 3m³ Boxes, to support MSSS, PFCS and Legacy Waste facilities. This procurement, which is subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (PCR 2015), is the supply of between 14,440 and 16,720 3m³ boxes, of which 15,200 represents the most likely demand of boxes. |

6. Decommissioning Contact Handleable Intermediate Level Waste Container
| Planned procurement ID: | 7669 |
|---|---|
| Procurement category: | Engineering Equipment Systems and Products (EES&P) |
| Project Description: | The Decommissioning Contact Handleable Container (DCC) supports the future decommissioning requirements of Sellafield Ltd for Contact Handleable Intermediate Level Waste (CHILW) under the remediation value stream. In the UK, radioactive wastes are classified according to the nature and quantity of radioactivity and the heat produced. Intermediate Level Waste can be categorised as high or low dose and high or low fissile. Remote Handleable Intermediate Level Waste (RHILW), both high and low fissile, requires remote handling by mechanical processes/robots and a high level of shielding in high-integrity stores. Contact Handleable Intermediate Level Waste (CHILW) presents a lesser requirement for shielding and potential for not all work to be remote; it can be managed and stored in facilities appropriate to its needs at a lower cost. At Sellafield, low fissile CHILW has historically not been separated out from RHILW but instead stored alongside RHILW in high-integrity stores. Learning from Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) has demonstrated the benefits of better waste segregation and how this can be applied to ILW – ‘the right waste, in the right package, in the right store’. The CHILW system requires the use of a new waste package, the Decommissioning CHILW Container (DCC), to collect waste from the decommissioning plants. The CHILW will be encapsulated, either following consignment from the decommissioning plants or following buffer storage in Lightly Shielded Stores (LSS), in a new encapsulation facility, the Decommissioning Encapsulation Plant (DEP). The waste (now within the DCC) will be sent for long-term storage in the series of LSS, prior to ultimate disposal to the Geological Disposal Facility (GDF). |
| Scope: | The scope of the DCC procurement is the manufacture, assembly, testing, inspection and delivery to Sellafield Ltd of boxes, to support broad front decommissioning phase of Sellafield Ltd lifecycle. This procurement, which is subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (PCR 2015), is the supply up to 12,000 boxes. |
| Value stream and critical success factors | The critical Success factors for the procurement have not yet been defined however they will align to the NDA’s value framework. |
| Current status: | The DCC is currently under concept development where Sellafield Ltd are working on options to define the required material e.g. stainless steel, concrete etc. This optioneering will be completed by Feb 2022 which will enable early market engagement prior to release of the tender. |
