Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured repair and testing of faulty Rockwell Automation printed circuit boards used in Control Action Module cards, addressable detectors, alarm module cards and Criticality Incident Detectors. The faults are identified through the annual maintenance contract, so the requirement supports the maintenance of Sellafield’s control, alarm and detection equipment. This is specialist electronics repair work rather than a general supply of electronic components. The parts are associated with Rockwell Automation equipment. The procurement is for delivery in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. Sellafield Limited is the buying organisation. The work covers both repair and testing of the affected boards, with components spanning control modules, addressable detection, alarm modules and criticality incident detection.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Rockwell. It was a single-lot, below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 30 January 2027. Its value is £158,743.02 excluding VAT (£190,491.62 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The purchase is classified as goods, with electronic components as the relevant category. The stated scope is repair and testing of faulty boards identified through the annual maintenance contract. The process records no competitive evaluation criteria; the route was a direct award without competition. Rockwell is the selected supplier for the repair work.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Sellafield, this award demonstrates demand for specialist repair and testing of Rockwell Automation circuit boards used in control, alarm and safety-related detection systems. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to diagnose faults and restore these boards, together with test capability to verify repaired units. Experience with Control Action Module cards, addressable detectors, alarm module cards and Criticality Incident Detectors would be directly relevant. The work is linked to equipment faults identified through an annual maintenance contract, so suppliers should be able to support an ongoing maintenance environment and handle several types of associated electronic assemblies. Rockwell was selected through a direct award without competition, rather than a process demonstrating competitive scoring or published qualification requirements.
