Sellafield Ltd is planning a procurement process titled "PICTS C1 - Service Desk and End User Support," targeted within the information technology services sector. The initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a milestone engagement due date set for 3rd April 2026. This service-based procurement, located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, will involve a contract valued at £52,000,000. The procurement is not specifically geared towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The point of contact is Caragh M.
