Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Ltd procured decommissioning works at its Sellafield site in the North West, including waste removal, work on the M3, M2 and U2 drain lines, and dismantling activities in M2. The delivery location is associated with postcode CA20 1PG in the North West of England. This is a works requirement rather than a supply-only or general consultancy opportunity. The scope falls within decommissioning services and is relevant to contractors able to manage controlled dismantling, waste handling and associated drainage-line works as an integrated package. The requirement is buyer-specific, centred on Sellafield Ltd’s operational and decommissioning environment, so suppliers would need to understand the site’s working arrangements and technical constraints when assessing comparable future requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 17 September 2026 to AtkinsAltrad. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 6 August 2026 at noon. The awarded value is £5,559,175.17 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 January 2030. The award is active. The opportunity was structured as a single requirement covering the waste removal, drain-line and dismantling scope. The procurement was classified as works and the recorded suitability settings indicate that participation was not intended for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was made to one supplier.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial and sustained demand from Sellafield Ltd for specialist decommissioning delivery rather than isolated maintenance work. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need proven capability in industrial waste removal, dismantling and drain-line works, with the ability to coordinate these activities safely as one package. The scale indicates a need for established operational capacity, suitably qualified personnel, project management and reliable control of complex site activities. Experience working in highly regulated, safety-critical environments would strengthen credibility, as would evidence of managing waste streams, interfaces between disciplines and delivery against demanding technical and site-control requirements. The framework call-off route also shows that access to the relevant framework can be commercially important.
