Wireless, long-term environmental monitoring of nuclear stores

This PIN is to inform the supply chain that Sellafield Ltd are seeking a suite of sensors that can be situated within an empty Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) package and placed in storage along with the real SNM packages, providing regular environmental data. 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 the 29th November 2023.

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 that has the capability, knowledge and experience in long-term environmental monitoring and sensors to respond to this PIN and visit the Game Changers website for further information on this Game Changers challenge.

If Sellafield Ltd progresses to a future procurement opportunity for a suite of sensors that can provide regular environmental data, 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.
