Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited purchased four Imperial Series screwjacks with a single-face, upright rotating-screw configuration. These are lifting and handling equipment components, classified under CPV 42419000, for use in Sellafield’s operations. The buying organisation is Sellafield Limited, a public authority based in Warrington. Delivery was to the Barrow-in-Furness area in Cumbria. The requirement is for physical equipment rather than installation, consultancy or general facilities management services. The scope is specific: four screwjacks of the stated Imperial Series type and configuration. Businesses supplying industrial lifting equipment, mechanical handling components or compatible screwjack systems would be closest to this requirement and its technical product focus.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Speedy Asset Services Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026, awarded on 21 September 2026, and runs from 21 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £53,683.20 excluding VAT, or £64,419.84 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies the supplier and the equipment requirement, but does not set out a scored evaluation basis or a competitive tender process. This was therefore a non-competitive purchase rather than an open opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

For a supplier assessing future Sellafield requirements, this purchase demonstrates demand for specialist industrial lifting and handling equipment, specifically Imperial Series screwjacks with a single-face, upright rotating-screw configuration. A credible competitor would need to source or manufacture equipment matching those technical characteristics, supply four units consistently, and support delivery into the Barrow-in-Furness area. Relevant experience in screwjacks, lifting components and industrial equipment supply would help establish product knowledge and reliability. The award also shows that Sellafield uses direct below-threshold purchasing for a focused equipment requirement, so suppliers should be able to respond efficiently to defined product specifications and meet public-sector purchasing and delivery requirements.
