Radiometrics and Associated Services

• Duration: 5 year
• Value: £31M

The Service Provider will be required to supply suitably qualified and experienced personnel (SQEP) for Sellafield Ltd to allocate to maintenance and asset care activities on installed radiation protection instrumentation (IRPI) to match site priorities. The equipment being maintained is located in over 100 facilities that are spread across the entire Sellafield site and owned by multiple independent operating units. A limited on-call service (invoked by the site shift manager) must be in place for repair of essential IRPI outside of normal working hours.The Service Provider will ensure that all the instruments continue to be fit for purpose, appropriately calibrated and operational on demand, and it is expected that the Service Provider will use external best practice to identify latest developments and innovation with regard to this technology for consideration by Sellafield.Other services that underpin maintenance, that the contractor will be expected to provide, include technical support, asset care, management of spares, documentation and safe use of radioactive sources associated with this scope of supply.The typical range of equipment that the procured resource will be deployed on is listed below: • Contamination Monitors;• Criticality & Evacuation (CID / CIDAS / BES);• Filter Canister Testers in Laundry;• Gamma Monitors (Area);• Gamma Monitors (Interlock);• Gamma Monitors (Process);• Hand & Foot Monitors;• Hand Monitors;• Installed Personnel Monitors;• iSolos;• Particulate in Air Monitors;• Pressure Systems; and• SEMPS system.For further detail, please refer to the contract and procurement documents which can be accessed via ATAMIS reference C13461

The Service Provider will be required to provide a routine maintenance, breakdown repair, calibration and support to approximately 12000 portable radiation protection instruments (PRPI). These PRPI are employed in various plants (controlled and uncontrolled areas) and locations on the Sellafield site. The following services are typically required:Calibration and repair of: • Portable radiation monitors (β, γ, x-ray, n);• Portable contamination monitors (α, β, photon);• α and β scaler and drawer systems;• Check sources for these instruments; and• Control dosemeters; Calibration and adjustment of:• Criticality Circuit Boards; and• Installed Gamma Monitors;Calibration \ exposure of: • Lithium Fluoride Chips; • Management of A PRPI collection and delivery service; and• A source receipt, onward delivery and re-calibration serviceFor further detail, please refer to the contract and procurement documents which can be accessed via ATAMIS reference C13461

The requirement is for Sellafield to engage with a lead supply chain organisation to take on the Radiometric Characteristic Services (RCS), for a four year period, with the supply chain provider delivering both standard and be-spoke services as per the requirements of Sellafield site, with the Sellafield RCS team acting role of intelligent client provision.The supply chain partner will work closely with the Radiometric Systems Group Characterisation Team (RSGCT) to deliver fit for purpose, in-situ, radiometric characterisation solutions. The demand profile for RCS services is anticipated to accelerate as the site moves towards Post Operational Clean Out (POCO), decommissioning and high hazard reduction. Future site demand is currently unclear which necessitates the requirement for an increasingly flexible, integrated approach to radiometric characterisation delivery by RSGCT and a supply chain partner.RCS will be used to resolve both current and emerging radiometric characterisation issues and will be critical for future remediation and high hazard reduction activities.Examples of typical RCS delivery projects are:• Radiation imaging surveys to provide hotspot maps of radionuclide distributions associated with areas of plant. These surveys may be extended to provide detailed activity or dose estimation at points with the survey area;• Gamma spectrometry and neutron counting measurements to provide detailed assay of items such as waste packages, waste drums, crates, International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) freight containers and gloveboxes; and• Dose rate mapping and quantification.For further detail, please refer to the contract and procurement documents which can be accessed via ATAMIS reference C13461
