Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield procured technical innovation services, classified as pre-feasibility study and technological demonstration (CPV 73420000). The requirement is titled DNWP0066/LOT1B/ Technical Innovation. It is a service contract associated with Sellafield’s operations in Warrington, with delivery indicated in the North West of England. The published scope gives no further breakdown of the technical work, so the opportunity is most relevant to businesses whose services cover technical innovation, pre-feasibility studies or technology demonstrations for the nuclear sector. Sellafield is the buying organisation. The work is a specific technical innovation requirement rather than a general supply contract, and businesses should assess their fit against that focus and the requirements used to select the appointed supplier.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AtkinsAltrad. Sellafield used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 19 October 2026, and the contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The awarded value is £398,381.73. The original tender submission deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as one lot, and the stated procurement method means the competition was conducted through an existing framework rather than as an open tender. The award is recorded as active. The procurement identifies the work as technical innovation services, but provides no specific evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements beyond the framework call-off route.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Sellafield’s demand for technical innovation services, specifically pre-feasibility studies and technology demonstrations. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show capability in assessing technical feasibility and demonstrating technologies, with experience relevant to Sellafield’s operational and nuclear-sector context. The buyer used a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking to compete through the same route would need to be eligible under the relevant framework and able to deliver within its terms. The contract is a defined, short-term technical services engagement rather than a broad programme, pointing to a need for focused specialist expertise and the capacity to carry out the agreed work for Sellafield. The selection of AtkinsAltrad provides evidence of the supplier chosen for this requirement.
