Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited purchased instrumentation for ventilation replacement: four differential pressure transmitters, four thermal mass flowmeters, and eight front and eight back ferrules. The equipment is for replacing ventilation instruments. The procurement is for goods, specifically flow measurement equipment and associated transmitters and fittings. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the published data does not identify a specific town or site for delivery. Sellafield Limited is the buying organisation. The requirement is a defined package of replacement components rather than a broader installation or maintenance service, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide these instrument types and compatible ferrules for ventilation systems.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Fluidic Ltd. Sellafield Limited used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. There was one lot, covering the equipment package. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £48,455.33 excluding VAT, or £58,146.39 including VAT. The recorded award is active. The procurement data does not describe a scored evaluation basis; the recorded route was a direct award rather than a competitive assessment. Fluidic Ltd is the selected supplier for the flowmeters and associated items.

For suppliers seeking comparable future requirements from Sellafield Limited, this purchase indicates demand for a small, specific set of ventilation replacement instruments: differential pressure transmitters, thermal mass flowmeters and matching front and back ferrules. Credible competitors would need to source and supply all the specified component types in the required quantities, with products suitable for the ventilation replacement purpose. The award went to Fluidic Ltd through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the outcome does not demonstrate a competitive scoring model or published technical qualification threshold. Suppliers with relevant instrumentation supply capability and experience supporting replacement of ventilation measurement equipment are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
