Monitoring of Waste Packages

This PIN is to inform the supply chain that Sellafield Ltd and Magnox Limited are seeking improved and/or novel solutions to enable them to enhance the monitoring of the condition of waste packages and their contents during interim storage prior to ultimate disposal. Interested technology providers should complete and submit a Game Changers application via the Game Changers website www.gamechangers.technology. The challenge is open to any organisation who feel they can meet the technical requirements. The closing date for applications will be 6th October 2021. Interested organisations should note that the issue of this PIN may not result in a full procurement exercise being conducted. The outcome of the Game Changers challenge will determine whether a full procurement exercise will follow. We would therefore encourage any organisation which has the capability, knowledge and experience in techniques for monitoring the parameters that may be used to assess waste package condition, to respond to this PIN and visit the Game Changers (https://www.gamechangers.technology/) website for further information on the Game Changers challenge. If Sellafield or Magnox progress to a future procurement opportunity for techniques for monitoring the condition of waste packages during interim storage, the learning gathered from the Game Changers technology study may be shared with all potential suppliers, noting that commercially sensitive information will not be included.
