UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured a Tiger electronics pod for use in a nuclear application. This is a specialist electronics supply requirement rather than construction, consultancy or general equipment provision. The procurement was for the supply of the pod itself, with the item classified as electronic supplies. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The buyer is Sellafield Limited, the public authority responsible for the requirement. The opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of Tiger electronics pods or closely related electronic equipment designed for nuclear environments. Businesses whose work is limited to general electrical goods, unrelated engineering services or non-specialist components are less likely to match the requirement. The selected supplier, Saab Seaeye Ltd, is a large UK business based in Fareham, indicating a requirement suited to an established specialist supplier with an appropriate product offering.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Saab Seaeye Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 November 2026. Its value is £57,246 excluding VAT, or £68,695.20 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot for the purchase of the Tiger electronics pod. The contract is active. This was not a competed tender: the route used was a below-threshold direct purchase without competition. The award date is not separately stated, but the supplier selection and contract signature are recorded. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award process rather than a multi-supplier competitive assessment.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at Sellafield for specialist electronic equipment used in nuclear applications. It is commercially relevant to suppliers that can provide Tiger electronics pods directly, hold the necessary manufacturer or product relationship, or deliver an equivalent capability that meets the buyer’s technical and nuclear-environment needs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to the specified equipment, strong product knowledge and the operational capacity to supply a specialist item to a major nuclear site. Experience supporting nuclear, subsea or other safety-critical electronics would help a supplier demonstrate technical credibility, although the procurement data identifies the product and application rather than setting out formal accreditations. The awarded supplier’s large-business profile also indicates that established supply capability and reliable fulfilment are relevant competitive strengths for this buyer.
