UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by Sellafield Limited, focused on the establishment of an "Off-Site Emergency Plan" within the nuclear safety services category. With the procurement method designated as a direct award, the contract was assigned to Westmorland and Furness Council as per the regulations stipulated by REPPIR 2019 and COMAH 2015. This awards process was conducted to address the administrative needs arising from the Local Government Reorganisation, centralised by an Inter-Authority Agreement. The procurement took place in the UK, specifically within the Warrington and Kendal regions. Key dates include the award announcement on 1st June 2026, pending contract signature by 15th June 2026, and the service period running from 15th June 2026 to 31st March 2027.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities primarily for large-scale public authorities or councils experienced in nuclear safety services and emergency planning. By standardising service delivery across multiple sites, there is potential for significant strategic advantages for entities adept in managing complex regulatory frameworks and inter-authority collaborations. Such opportunities are particularly beneficial for entities that possess existing infrastructure and expertise to swiftly respond to sector-specific demands within the defined timeframe, thus enhancing their service portfolios and expanding their operational outreach within the nuclear safety domain.
