Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured an assembled Laserflow system for measuring flow, level and pressure in liquids and gases. The specified package comprises a transmitter and signature base, ATEX barrier and laserflow sensors, external ultrasonic sensors, sensor wall mount and retrieval tool, mounting hardware, battery backup, output card, AC line grips, totaliser, and pH module and sensor. This is a specialist instrumentation supply rather than a general equipment purchase. Delivery is in Whitehaven, Cumbria. The requirement was managed by Sellafield Limited, the buyer, and covers one complete assembly rather than separate lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Rexel UK Ltd. Sellafield used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is for the single Laserflow assembly requirement. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 16 October 2026 to 4 January 2027. Its value is £42,686.37 excluding VAT (£51,211.64 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The published procurement data identifies no competitive evaluation basis; the supplier was selected through the non-competitive route.

For suppliers of flow-measurement instrumentation and industrial process equipment, this purchase shows demand at Sellafield for a configured Laserflow system with sensor, transmitter, signal-processing and installation components supplied as a complete package. A credible competitor would need access to compatible Laserflow equipment and the ability to assemble and supply the listed components as an integrated system, including ATEX-rated parts and sensor accessories. Experience supplying specialist measurement equipment for industrial or nuclear-site environments would be relevant to demonstrating product compatibility and dependable fulfilment. The award went to a large supplier through a below-threshold direct route, so this outcome demonstrates the buyer’s purchasing pattern rather than evidence of an open competitive evaluation.
