Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited commissioned specialist services to improve role-based access controls (RBAC) across its ServiceNow platform. The work supports raising the platform’s security classification from OFFICIAL to OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE, a prerequisite for deploying the Security Incident Response capability in the ServiceNow Security Operations module. The scope covers project management and governance, solution design, configuration, implementation, testing, deployment and assurance. Its purpose is to strengthen access management, meet security requirements and allow the platform to handle OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE information securely. The award classifies the work as systems and technical consultancy services (CPV 72220000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sellafield Limited made a below-threshold direct award without competition to Atos IT Services UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 28 September to 27 November 2026. Its stated value is £59,359 excluding VAT, or £71,230.80 including VAT. The procurement was presented as one lot. The stated purpose and scope centre on ServiceNow security remediation and RBAC improvements; no separate evaluation criteria are set out.

This award shows demand from Sellafield for focused ServiceNow security consultancy: suppliers need credible capability in role-based access control, secure platform configuration and remediation against demanding information-security requirements. Relevant experience should span solution design through implementation, testing, deployment and assurance, with project management and governance able to coordinate the work end to end. The requirement was delivered as a contained, short-term specialist project rather than a broad systems transformation. A supplier competing for comparable future work would need to demonstrate it can strengthen controls across an operational ServiceNow environment and support handling of OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE information, including readiness for Security Incident Response within ServiceNow Security Operations. The buyer used a direct, non-competitive route for this award, so its outcome does not provide a competitive evaluation benchmark.
