UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured a mast recovery system, referenced as PAR-SY-AIR-001, for an M3000 manipulator. The requirement is described as a system rather than a standalone service, so it is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and integrators of specialist equipment used with manipulators. The procurement is categorised as goods and the associated classification is telecommunications equipment (CPV 32522000). The awarded items are for delivery in the United Kingdom. The named buyer is Sellafield Limited, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The requirement is narrowly focused on supplying the specified mast recovery system, rather than providing general telecommunications services, maintenance or broader engineering support.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. CORE Nuclear Solutions Ltd was awarded the single lot. The award was made on 14 May 2026 and the contract was signed on 14 May 2026. The contract period ran from 15 May 2026 to 6 July 2026. Its value was £49,985.34 excluding VAT and £59,982.41 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender is complete. Evaluation was therefore not based on a competitive tender exercise: the route was a direct award without competition. The awarded supplier is identified as CORE Nuclear Solutions Ltd.

For suppliers assessing future requirements from Sellafield Limited, this award indicates demand for a specialist mast recovery system associated with an M3000 manipulator. A credible competitor would need to supply equipment matching the specified PAR-SY-AIR-001 reference and demonstrate capability in specialist manipulator-related systems. The classification as telecommunications equipment suggests that relevant experience may include designing, manufacturing, distributing or integrating specialised equipment rather than delivering generic communications services. The selected supplier, CORE Nuclear Solutions Ltd, is recorded as a large business, indicating that the buyer has previously sourced this requirement from an established supplier with the capacity to provide the specified goods. Familiarity with Sellafield’s technical requirements and direct-award route would also be commercially relevant.
