Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited bought dosimetry parts: 5,000 orange plastic rings, 5,000 yellow plastic rings, 1,000 thermoluminescent cards and 3,000 dosimeter discs. These are components and consumables for radiation dosimetry, used to measure radiation exposure. The requirement was for goods rather than services or works. The items were delivered in the United Kingdom, to the North West England delivery area. This purchase shows demand for both colour-coded plastic rings and two types of dosimetry equipment or consumables, including thermoluminescent cards and dosimeter discs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Phoenix Dosimetry Ltd (HTSL Group); the contract is active. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The procurement was evaluated through that non-competitive route. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £148,867 excluding VAT and £178,640.40 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the dosimetry parts purchase. The award was for goods, classified as radiation dosimeters. No separate award date is recorded; the contract signing date is given above.

For a future purchase of this kind, credible suppliers would need to source or manufacture radiation-dosimetry parts at the required scale, including orange and yellow plastic rings, thermoluminescent cards and dosimeter discs. The selected supplier demonstrates that Sellafield bought a substantial batch spanning several component types through a direct, non-competitive route. Suppliers serving this buyer should therefore be able to meet a defined multi-item requirement and deliver to the North West England area. Relevant capability lies in supplying dosimetry equipment and consumables, with reliable fulfilment across the specified quantities and product variants. The purchase provides evidence of demand from Sellafield for these particular parts; it does not establish broader requirements beyond this product range.
