Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured specialist systems and technical consultancy services to deliver additional effort for EWMP User Case 1 on its existing Hexagon J5 application. The work supports Phase 1 of the PCM Tracking Application and covers configuration, modification, customisation, stabilisation and optimisation of the live, on-premise J5 environment. The requirement arose from additional scope and functionality, including enhancements needing further development and consultancy support. The services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a single-service requirement for work on an installed application rather than a new standalone software platform. It is relevant to suppliers with specialist capability in Hexagon J5 configuration and development, particularly where live operational systems and existing integrations must be protected.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Sellafield Limited made a direct award to Intergraph (UK) Ltd on 17 June 2026, using technical reasons and additional repeat work as the rationale. The award value is £190,512 excluding VAT, or £228,614.40 including VAT. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 26 July 2026 to 29 January 2027. The award followed a standstill period ending on 24 July 2026. Evaluation was based on the buyer’s technical assessment that only suitably authorised and experienced Hexagon consultants could safely configure and enhance the existing environment. The single lot was completed and the award remains active.

This award indicates demand from Sellafield for specialist consultancy supporting a live Hexagon J5 estate, where continuity, compatibility and controlled change are central to supplier selection. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable Hexagon J5 expertise, including configuration, customisation, development and integration with existing applications. Experience of on-premise environments and live operational systems would be important, as would the ability to stabilise and optimise applications without disrupting business operations. Suppliers would also need sufficient specialist consultancy capacity to provide multiple experienced consultants and complete defined enhancements within a controlled programme. Relevant evidence would include successful delivery of repeat or additional work on established platforms, technical authorisation or recognised platform capability, and strong change, testing and contract-management disciplines.

Notice Title

J5 Resources to deliver EWMP User Case 1 - Additional effort

Notice Description

The contract award is required to support the delivery of Phase 1 of the project following the introduction of additional scope and functionality requirements. The expanded scope necessitates additional development time and specialist consultancy support to design, configure, and implement the required enhancements. Due to the ongoing agile and evolving nature of the Phase 1 programme, it has been determined that the continued engagement of two Hexagon consultants is necessary to ensure the successful completion of Phase 1 within the planned delivery timescales. The work involves the configuration and modification of the existing installed J5 application. As Hexagon is the incumbent provider and support organisation for the live J5 environment, its consultants possess the specialist knowledge and technical expertise required to make the necessary adjustments while minimising risk to operational systems and avoiding disruption to currently live applications. Continued access to Hexagon consultancy capability is therefore essential to support the configuration, customisation, stabilisation, and optimisation of the application, ensuring the successful delivery of Phase 1 and the realisation of the required business outcomes.

Procurement Information

Sellafield Ltd has completed a study and determined that the new PCM Tracking Application should be developed using its existing, on-premise Hexagon J5 platform. Hexagon has previously developed multiple J5 applications for Sellafield Ltd and is the incumbent supplier responsible for supporting the shared J5 environment. The requirement is for the configuration and enhancement of Sellafield's existing installed J5 application. Due to the technical complexity of the live environment and the need to ensure compatibility with existing applications, the work can only be undertaken by suitably authorised and experienced Hexagon consultants with specialist knowledge of the J5 platform and Sellafield's current implementation. Awarding this work to an alternative supplier would introduce significant technical risk, including potential impacts to live operational applications, increased integration and mobilisation costs, and delays to the delivery of Phase 1. The requirement therefore constitutes additional repeat work and is justified on technical grounds, as Hexagon is uniquely positioned to safely configure and modify the existing environment without compromising business continuity. This requirement is limited in scope and duration and represents a controlled, time-bound engagement to complete Phase 1 of the PCM Tracking Application while Sellafield Ltd considers its longer-term capability and sourcing strategy.
