Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured services to supply, deliver and install an integrated adjustable pallet racking system, including the installation and upgrading of a warehouse racking system at Lilyhall. The requirement covers warehouse storage infrastructure and associated installation work, classified under racking and installation services. Sellafield Limited is the buying organisation. The work is to be delivered at Lilyhall in the United Kingdom. The opportunity is relevant to businesses that design, supply, install or upgrade pallet racking and warehouse storage systems, particularly those able to integrate new equipment with an existing warehouse arrangement. It is a single requirement, covering both the physical racking solution and the services needed to install it.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. The stated justification was that the requirement involved additional or repeat goods, services or works from the existing supplier, and changing supplier could create incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. The contract was awarded to Dexion Material Handling Ltd on 14 April 2026 for £273,563 excluding VAT, or £328,275.60 including VAT. The contract was signed on 21 May 2026 and runs from 21 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded requirement was above the relevant threshold. The single lot was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Performance is measured against agreed time, fixed cost and acceptable quality standards.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sellafield Limited for specialist warehouse racking and installation capability at Lilyhall. A credible future competitor would need to supply integrated adjustable pallet racking and carry out installation or upgrading work in an operational warehouse environment. The direct-award rationale indicates that compatibility with existing equipment, systems and maintenance arrangements is commercially important, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate technical integration and continuity rather than offering a standalone product only. Delivery capability should cover the full requirement from supply through installation and completion. Evidence of controlling project time, maintaining agreed fixed costs and achieving formal quality sign-off would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller firms may be capable of competing, potentially through appropriate delivery partnerships.
