UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured a service agreement for hydrogen gas systems. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for precision equipment, supporting the continued operation of hydrogen gas systems used by the buyer. The service is categorised as services rather than goods or construction works. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. Sellafield Limited is the public-sector buyer, based in Warrington. The requirement was handled as a single service package, covering the complete hydrogen gas systems service need rather than separate geographical or technical packages. This is relevant to suppliers that maintain specialist scientific, laboratory or industrial equipment and can support hydrogen gas systems in a UK operating environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the UK Procurement Act 2023. Peak Scientific Instruments Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £32,361 excluding VAT, or £38,833.20 including VAT. The award covers one service package for the hydrogen gas systems requirement. The outcome shows that the buyer selected a specialist supplier through a non-competitive below-threshold route, rather than evaluating competing bids against published award criteria.

This procurement indicates an established requirement for specialist servicing of hydrogen gas systems and associated precision equipment within Sellafield’s operations. A credible competitor would need practical experience maintaining precision equipment, diagnosing faults and carrying out planned or reactive service work on hydrogen gas systems. Suppliers should be able to provide appropriately skilled engineers, safe working practices and reliable support across UK delivery locations. Experience of working in technically controlled, safety-critical or regulated environments would help demonstrate suitability for this buyer’s operating context, provided it directly relates to the equipment and services required. The incumbent’s selection also shows the value of a focused specialist capability rather than general facilities maintenance alone.
