Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited bought annual maintenance for its solar-powered lighting tower, a specialist lighting engineering service. The requirement is described as sitewide, with the work for Sellafield’s operations; the delivery location is recorded only as the United Kingdom. The service concerns maintaining lighting equipment rather than supplying a new installation. This gives lighting maintenance firms a clear indication of the buyer’s requirement and the type of asset covered. The procurement is a single package, covering the annual upkeep of the solar-powered tower.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Prolectric Services Ltd. Sellafield used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is recorded as active, and the contract was signed on 18 August 2026. It runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £65,028 excluding VAT and £78,033.60 including VAT. The published evaluation basis is not stated in the available process details; the award record identifies the service as lighting engineering. The requirement was handled as one lot, and the contract is now in progress.

This award shows Sellafield buys recurring maintenance for solar-powered lighting equipment at sitewide scale. Suppliers best placed to compete for a future requirement would be able to maintain solar-powered lighting towers and demonstrate the engineering capability to keep this type of lighting operational. Experience with annual maintenance and servicing across a site would be relevant to the scope described. The supplier selected was Prolectric Services Ltd, recorded as a large business, indicating that the work was placed with a supplier able to serve this buyer’s requirement. The procurement route was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so a prospective competitor should be ready to establish its relevant capability and reliability with Sellafield through its supplier engagement routes.
