UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited bought three wound probe assemblies made to drawings. The supply includes lifters, machined parts and tungsten plates, with finishing such as painting. The requirement is for parts of electronic assemblies, rather than a general electronics supply. Delivery is in Cumbria. This procurement was structured as a single lot and covered the complete assembly requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sellafield Limited selected Gemini Technology (Reading) Ltd through a direct award below the competition threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £58,966.02 excluding VAT, or £70,759.23 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and three wound probe assemblies. No separate scoring or evaluation basis is recorded; the purchase was made directly without a competitive process.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to manufacture or source probe assemblies to buyer-issued drawings and provide the associated lifters, machined components and tungsten plates as a coordinated package. The finishing requirement includes painting, so capability must extend beyond supplying unfinished components. Experience interpreting technical drawings, controlling dimensional accuracy in machined parts and managing assembly and finishing would be commercially relevant. The awarded purchase shows demand for a small, defined quantity of specialist electronic-assembly parts from Sellafield Limited, rather than a broad electronics contract. Suppliers able to deliver a complete, specification-led assembly for a nuclear-site buyer would be best placed to compete when this particular requirement returns to market.
