UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited commissioned architectural design services to refurbish and reposition an industrial unit of about 12,000 square feet in West Cumbria. The work covers design from RIBA Workstage 3 through Workstage 6, alongside CDM and Building Regulations duties, including the Principal Designer role across RIBA Workstages 1 to 6. This is a building-design and refurbishment requirement for an existing industrial facility, rather than a new-build project. The recorded delivery area is West Cumbria.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was a below-threshold procurement, with the specific method described as unknown. There was one lot. The contract was awarded to 10architect and signed on 10 September 2026. Its stated value is £68,191 excluding VAT and £81,829.20 including VAT. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 20 March 2028. The procurement description sets out the design work and statutory responsibilities but gives no separate evaluation criteria.

For future work of this kind for Sellafield Limited, a credible competitor would need architectural design capability for industrial refurbishment and repositioning, with the ability to develop designs through RIBA Workstages 3 to 6. The requirement also demonstrates a need to cover CDM and Building Regulations, and to undertake the Principal Designer role from Workstage 1 through Workstage 6. Suppliers should be able to coordinate design across those stages and support delivery for an industrial site in West Cumbria. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller practice; the scope centres on a single industrial unit rather than a multi-building programme.
