Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Dose Control and Management System, intended to support its operations in dosimetry system management. The primary focus is on acquiring hardware, software, commissioning, training, and ongoing support. The procurement is structured as a single competitive flexible procedure, with the process set to commence in June 2026 and estimated contract periods from 2027 to 2032, offering room for renewal till 2034. This procurement is expected to be conducted above the usual threshold, underpinned by the legal provisions of the UKPGA 2023, and involves projects across regions UKD61 and UKD11 in the United Kingdom. Sellafield Limited is seeking market feedback by 17th December 2025, with potential suppliers required to register interest through the Atamis e-procurement system.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in dosimetry systems, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive solutions encompassing hardware and software development, along with training and system maintenance. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the procurement's structure, which is suitable for such organisations. The project's high value implies a robust return potential for successful bidders, enabling business growth and sector influence. Businesses looking to expand their presence in public sector markets, especially those involved in nuclear decommissioning and environmental safety, stand to benefit notably from this procurement.
