Sellafield Limited - Infrastructure Delivery Partnership (IDP)

Sellafield Ltd is the company responsible for safely delivering decommissioning of the UK’s nuclear legacy as well as fuel recycling and the management of low, high, and intermediate level nuclear waste activates at Sellafield on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. It is home to 4 of the biggest nuclear risks and hazards in Europe. The Sellafield site has been in operation since the 1940’s, when it was used as a Royal Ordnance factory. The site is also home to the world’s first commercial nuclear power station, Calder Hall. More recently the focus of work on the site has changed towards environmental remediation as the remaining processing work is completed and plans for waste retrievals are implemented to reduce the hazard and risk profile presented by the site.

IDP will be the contract to deliver conventional infrastructure projects and tasks on the Sellafield site in West Cumbria. To ensure that the Sellafield Ltd infrastructure network continues to operate reliably and support the mission, Sellafield Ltd is looking to place contracts to deliver continued project and task work from inception, design, construction through to commissioning. These contracts collectively constitute the IDP.
