UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves Sellafield Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, United Kingdom. The project, titled "Pipeline notice for the manufacture of MBGWS Boxes", is in the planning stage and targets the goods sector, specifically the production and supply of Miscellaneous Beta Gamma Waste Boxes. The procurement will commence in September 2028 and run until September 2032, aiming to produce approximately 11 to 33 boxes annually over four years. A future notice is anticipated around 30 June 2026, which provides potential suppliers ample time to prepare for the tendering process.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in the packaging of intermediate level nuclear waste or steel manufacturing. Given the project's planned nature and timeline, there is considerable scope for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate, especially those based in the UK. Companies that can offer innovative or efficient manufacturing solutions for nuclear waste management will be well-positioned to benefit from this multi-year supply contract, aligning with Sellafield Limited's requirement for quality and timely delivery.
