SL-HAWTT Programme Stage 1- Tranche 2

Sellafield Ltd has awarded contracts to support the delivery of Stage 1 of Tranche 2 of our Highly Active Waste Thermal Treatment Programme (HAWATT Programme) to the two suppliers identified within this notice on the basis that the suppliers have a thermal treatment technology capable of supporting the HAWATT Programme and to which the supplier has exclusive rights. The purpose of the Stage 1 contract awards is to enable Sellafield Ltd to determine whether the proprietary technology solutions of the suppliers meet baseline requirements for pilot facilities which will be delivered by the HAWATT Programme. Sellafield Ltd has elected to award contracts to both suppliers to ensure that there is no unnecessary narrowing of parameters. Should Sellafield Ltd be satisfied that the baseline requirements are met then Sellafield Ltd may subsequently award a supplies contract , in accordance with Regulations 32(5)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
