Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Ltd procured management services for a core team supporting decommissioning works under Lot 1B of its DNWP0032 requirement. The work is classified as decommissioning services and falls within the works category. Delivery is associated with Sellafield’s site in the North West of England, including the CA20 1PG area. The requirement is focused on managing the core team rather than supplying general goods or routine services, so it is relevant to organisations with specialist capability in managing personnel and activities connected with decommissioning environments. The named buying organisation is Sellafield Ltd, based in Whitehaven. This is a site-specific nuclear decommissioning management requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AtkinsAltrad on 4 September 2026. The award value is £3,150,939.04. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original tender deadline was 14 April 2026 at 12:00. Sellafield Ltd used a selective procedure and made the award as a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was presented as Lot 1B, Management (Core Team), for financial year 2026/27. AtkinsAltrad is the sole named awarded supplier and the award is recorded as active. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same: £3,150,939.04. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from Sellafield Ltd for an established contractor able to manage a core team delivering decommissioning-related works in a complex site environment. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of decommissioning service management, the ability to provide and coordinate a suitably capable management team, and the organisational capacity to operate within a framework call-off structure. Familiarity with Sellafield’s operating environment and the North West delivery location would be commercially relevant. The requirement is positioned for a larger specialist organisation rather than an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise, so competitors should be able to demonstrate substantial resources, dependable mobilisation and effective control of safety-critical or highly regulated workforces.
