This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to establish third party interest in the repurposing/recycling opportunity and to engage the market in achieving this. We will work with interested parties to develop a commercial strategy and decide on the optimum process moving forward. An initial breakdown of the project deliverables associated with this work are as follows:

• Draining the transformers of associated oils.

• Removal of these oils from site and repurposing/recycling of the oil.

• Acceptance and removal of all transformers from site.

• Repurposing and recycling of these transformers.

The PIN will be held at the Culham facility and will include a presentation by the procurement team, project manager and engineers involved with the deplant work followed by overview presentations and a site tour of the associated equipment in order to view the equipment and discuss the work further. Following the site tour a question-and-answer session will be held to answer any questions you may have and to get feedback.
