    Brief

    This procurement seeks suppliers to continue the development of vapor phase (VP) chemical testing technology for decontaminating materials. The work supports an ongoing research programme at Sellafield, a nuclear processing and storage facility. Suppliers should have expertise in vapor phase technology, decontamination methods, chemical testing protocols, and experience working with nuclear materials handling. This is Phase III of the development programme, indicating previous phases have been completed. The successful supplier will contribute to advancing decontamination capabilities for radioactive materials management.
