UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured a lifting beam, with associated engineering, quality, testing and logistical activities. The purchase is classified as goods, with the associated work involving metal-working equipment. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement brings together the supply of lifting equipment and the technical and logistical work needed to support it, rather than a general engineering service. This gives manufacturers and suppliers of lifting beams, and firms able to provide the related engineering, quality assurance, testing and logistics, a clear indication of the type of requirement Sellafield buys.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Wellman Booth. Sellafield used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026, runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £51,876.87 excluding VAT (£62,252.24 including VAT). The award is recorded as active. The published procurement details do not state separate evaluation criteria; the recorded route was a direct award rather than a competed evaluation.

For suppliers looking to compete for similar Sellafield requirements, this award indicates demand for lifting beams supported by engineering, quality, testing and logistics. A credible supplier would need to supply equipment suited to the required lifting application and coordinate the associated technical and delivery activities. Demonstrable quality controls and the ability to carry out or manage testing would be relevant, alongside reliable logistics to the delivery location. Wellman Booth, recorded as a large supplier, secured the contract through a below-threshold direct award without competition. That route means competitors should understand that winning comparable work may depend on being identifiable to Sellafield as a suitable supplier before a procurement is competed; the award does not establish that a future purchase will use the same route.
