Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured engineering and maintenance asset assessment services for mechanical, electrical and process equipment at the Sellafield Site. The work supports the site’s asset assessment activity for MEP and WEP in Retrievals East River (RER). This is a specialist engineering services requirement focused on assessing equipment and assets at a nuclear decommissioning site, rather than general machinery maintenance. Sellafield Limited is the buying organisation, and delivery is at Sellafield Site in Cumbria.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cumbria O and M Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and is valued at £3,180,929.28. The process used a restricted procedure through a selective route. Three bids were recorded. The evaluation gave technical quality a weighting of 80% and price 20%. The tender was arranged as a single lot covering the asset assessment support at Sellafield Site; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The contract period and award date are not stated in the published process data.

The award demonstrates demand at Sellafield for specialist engineering and maintenance asset assessment in the MEP and WEP areas of Retrievals East River. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show technical strength in assessing mechanical, electrical and process equipment, with the capability to work within the operational and safety constraints of a nuclear decommissioning site. Technical quality carried substantially more weight than price in this competition, so evidence of a robust assessment approach, suitably experienced personnel and reliable delivery would be central to a strong offer. The contract was awarded to a provider based in Cumbria, but the requirement itself is defined by the site-based specialist work rather than the supplier’s location.
