UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority is buying computer support and consultancy services to install new storage nodes and relocate existing storage nodes within the same system. The requirement concerns work on the authority’s storage infrastructure, rather than the supply of storage equipment alone. The buying organisation is the UK Atomic Energy Authority, based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire. The delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom, without a more specific site. This is a single requirement covering installation and relocation as one package.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Boxxe Ltd. The authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award value is £52,300 gross. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 9 September 2031; the award was published on 23 September 2026. The requirement was not divided into separate lots. The stated basis is the installation of new storage nodes and relocation of existing nodes within the same system; no separate scored evaluation criteria are recorded. The award is shown as pending, and a contract signature was scheduled for 24 September 2026.

This award indicates demand for specialist IT services supporting the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s storage-node infrastructure. A credible competitor for similar work would need the practical capability to install storage nodes and relocate existing nodes while maintaining their operation within the existing system. Relevant infrastructure support and consultancy experience would help demonstrate an ability to handle both activities as a joined-up requirement. The work is a focused, single-package service rather than a multi-lot programme. The route used here was a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not show how the authority would assess competing bids in a future process. Suppliers tracking this buyer should treat storage installation and relocation capability as the relevant fit, rather than broader IT services unrelated to its storage systems.
