Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited, a public authority under sub-central government, is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "ICT Hosted Infrastructure Management & Application Management Services." This process entails a competitive flexible procedure for two Lots, focusing on Information Technology services, with an estimated gross value of £107.69 million. The procurement is aimed at suppliers included in the CCS Technology Services 4 Framework Agreement, set to commence competition in April 2026, following the framework launch in January 2026. The procurement encompasses deliveries to regions UKD61 and UKD11 in the United Kingdom, with initial contracts starting in 2027 and ending in 2032, and potential extension to 2034.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in ICT services, particularly those capable of managing hosted infrastructure and applications. Given the contract's substantial value, it opens avenues for business growth, especially for qualified suppliers included in the relevant Lots of the TS4 Framework. The suitability criterion for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) further broadens the competitive landscape, allowing diverse businesses to participate, though they must choose a preferred Lot upon bidding. This can enable successful bidders to establish or enhance their presence within public sector IT service provisions, nurturing long-term relationships with a reputable authority like Sellafield Limited.
