Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield commissioned remaining in-ground mitigation works for Tranche 4b, under the package titled “END STATES In Ground Mitigation”. The work is classified as ground investigation and falls within the works category. Delivery is associated with WA3 6GR and the North West of England. This is a site-based requirement for suppliers undertaking ground investigation and mitigation works; the published scope identifies the remaining works but gives no further task breakdown. The buying organisation is Sellafield, based in Warrington. The procurement concerns the completion of a defined tranche of in-ground work rather than a general supply of goods or ongoing service provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AtkinsAltrad on 8 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £1,960,344.22. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Sellafield used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The original tender deadline was 8 October 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is presented as one package of remaining Tranche 4b works, rather than separate lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as unsuitable. The published procurement data does not set out evaluation criteria beyond the award outcome and route used.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Sellafield for substantial, site-based ground investigation and in-ground mitigation work to complete defined project tranches. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need the technical capability and operational capacity to deliver investigation and mitigation works safely and reliably at a major industrial site, and to mobilise against a defined programme of remaining works. The selection of AtkinsAltrad provides evidence that a framework call-off is a route Sellafield uses for this type of work. The stated SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that the opportunity was not considered suitable for those organisation types, so prospective competitors should be prepared to demonstrate the scale and delivery capability required for a sizeable works package.
