UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited bought a handheld radiation mapping system for use in its operations. The requirement covers the NVH N-VISAGE Explore system, product code NVH, classified as radiation monitoring equipment. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or construction contract. The equipment is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The named buyer is Sellafield Limited, a public authority based in Warrington. The selected supplier is Createc Ltd, based in Cockermouth. The requirement was treated as a single procurement covering the supply of the specified handheld system. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are equipment manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of portable radiation monitoring or radiation mapping technology, particularly those able to provide the specified NVH product.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Createc Ltd. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026, runs from 1 July 2026 to 26 October 2026, and is active. Its value is £155,000 excluding VAT and £186,000 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and the supply of one handheld radiation mapping system. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies Createc Ltd as the selected supplier. This was a purchase of goods, evaluated through a below-threshold procedure without a competitive tender. No separate award values are reported.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sellafield Limited for specialist handheld radiation mapping equipment at a substantial project scale. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need a direct capability to supply the NVH N-VISAGE Explore system, or an equivalent product only where Sellafield’s future specification permits alternatives. Credibility would come from established access to radiation monitoring technology, the ability to provide the specified product reliably, and experience supporting a demanding nuclear-sector buyer. Manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist radiation instrumentation companies should monitor this buyer’s purchasing pattern and be ready to evidence product conformity, supply-chain access and delivery capability. The selected supplier’s success shows the relevance of a focused equipment offer rather than general engineering services.
