Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Sellafield Limited, a public body governed by nuclear decommissioning, involved the direct award of a contract for supplying assembled ultrafilter cartridges. This procurement, classified under the industry category of liquid filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus (CPV: 42912000), was awarded without prior publication due to technical reasons and exclusive rights, as per Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii)&(iii). The tender process, which commenced as a limited procurement method, culminated in an active award status. The exclusive supplier, PALL EUROPE LIMITED, was tasked with delivering the goods specifically to the Sellafield site located in the UKD1 region. The contract was signed on 20 May 2025, following the conclusion of the award stage of the procurement process.

This tender presents niche opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of advanced filtration equipment and related services, particularly those capable of meeting stringent technical specifications and possessing unique manufacturing rights. Companies adept in technological innovations and holding intellectual property rights in specialised filtration systems are best suited to compete in such procurement opportunities. The demand for customised solutions for critical facilities, like the Enhanced Actinide Removal Plant, highlights the potential for growth for suppliers capable of delivering tailored high-specification industrial components.
