Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Sellafield Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, United Kingdom, involves the supply and installation of biometric fingerprint entry cabinets. This contract is part of the "Biometric Fingerprint Entry Cabinet" tender in the goods category, awarded to ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions UK Ltd Trading as Traka. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold and without competition, indicating a non-competitive procurement. The contract, with a gross value of £119,824.68, is active from 2nd March 2026 to 6th April 2026. Key dates include the contract signing on 24th February 2026. The installation targets delivery to the UKD11 region, aligning with legislation under UKPGA 2023/54.

This opportunity presents growth prospects for businesses involved or interested in biometric technologies, specifically suppliers of biometric sensors, given its CPV classification. Large-scale suppliers, particularly those with expertise in security technology integration, could benefit from similar opportunities in future collaborations with public authorities like Sellafield Limited.
