Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Sellafield Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Warrington, UK, involved the provision of a self-drive hire bus service. This contract, under the services category, was awarded on 18th November 2025 and is set to run until 22nd May 2026. The procurement adopted a direct method below the threshold, meaning it was secured without competition. The buyer, Sellafield Limited, is situated at Hinton House, Birchwood Park Avenue, Warrington and managed the tender, which is now complete.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in vehicle hire services, focusing on self-drive buses. The tender was awarded to Reays Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Wigton, UK. Businesses that offer competitive vehicle hire services, specifically buses and coaches, stand to gain from engaging in such procurements, potentially leading to contract extensions, as noted in the active contract's options clause. Further opportunities may emerge for similar service providers seeking to establish or expand partnerships with public authorities like Sellafield Limited.
