UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured works to supply, deliver and install additional warehouse guard rails and barriers in a new racking area. The requirement is a warehouse material-handling safety installation, covering the erection of railings and associated protective barriers. Sellafield Limited is the buying organisation, based in Warrington, and the work relates to its new racking area. This is a single works requirement rather than a divided multi-lot opportunity. Businesses suited to this type of work would typically provide industrial warehouse protection systems, racking-area barriers and related installation services, with the capability to manage delivery and fitting as one package. The requirement is relevant to suppliers operating in warehouse safety equipment, industrial guarding, material-handling infrastructure or specialist railing installation.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Dexion Material Handling Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £159,088 net, or £190,905.60 including VAT. The procurement reached completion as a single lot, and the award is active. The published requirement covered supply, delivery and installation of guard rails and barriers, with the work classified as erection of railings. The award outcome indicates that Sellafield procured the complete installation package directly from one supplier rather than running a competitive tender or splitting the requirement between several providers.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of warehouse guarding and material-handling infrastructure. A credible competitor for similar Sellafield requirements would need to combine the manufacture or supply of guard rails and barriers with safe, reliable installation in a live industrial or warehouse environment. Capability to work around new racking, interpret site requirements, coordinate deliveries and complete a compliant physical installation would be important. Suppliers with experience in industrial safety systems, warehouse protection, racking protection or railing erection are the closest fit. The selected supplier was a large material-handling business, suggesting that the buyer valued an established provider able to manage equipment supply and installation together. Firms developing this capability should track Sellafield’s requirements for comparable warehouse works.
