UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has engaged in a procurement process for the supply and delivery of XOMOX Valves, a critical component for the HLWP Line 3 Outage scheduled for April 2026. Located in Warrington, the procurement falls within the goods category, specifically valve parts. The process is currently at the award stage, following a direct procurement method. The award notice was published on 4 June 2025, with the contract period set to start on 5 June 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2026. The tender has been directly awarded to Induchem, the sole UK supplier capable of meeting the specification requirements, for a gross amount of GBP 330,135.60.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing or supply of valve parts, particularly those capable of meeting niche or high-specification demands. Firms specialising in similar high-quality engineering components suitable for industrial plant maintenance and outages could find beneficial opportunities through collaborations or subcontracting with existing suppliers like Induchem. Businesses equipped to deliver goods under direct award conditions may further explore establishing themselves as key suppliers in high-demand infrastructure projects managed by organisations such as Sellafield Limited.
