Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited hired a 2,000-litre air receiver with 3-inch air hoses in 10-metre and 5-metre lengths, plus a 90-degree elbow fitting. The requirement is for equipment hire, rather than a purchase of the equipment. The buying organisation is Sellafield Limited. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the published delivery location is not more specifically identified. This is a focused hire requirement for compressed-air equipment and associated hose and fittings, relevant to rental businesses able to supply this combination of equipment.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Atlas Copco Rental. Sellafield Limited used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 13 September 2027. Its value is £49,473.12 excluding VAT, or £59,367.74 including VAT. The requirement was organised as one lot. The award covers the equipment hire described above. No separate evaluation criteria are stated for this direct award.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates Sellafield Limited’s demand for hired compressed-air equipment as a combined package: a large-capacity air receiver, 3-inch hoses in different lengths and a compatible elbow fitting. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need access to this equipment and fittings, the ability to arrange delivery in the United Kingdom, and capacity to support a hire arrangement over a substantial contract period. Rental firms with experience supplying industrial compressed-air equipment are the closest fit. The award was made directly without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation standard or particular technical accreditation requirement.
