UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited procured the supply and installation of a new rotary lift to support nuclear flask handling. The requirement covered the lift equipment, installation and testing within a nuclear-licensed site environment. This is specialist lifting-equipment installation work in a nuclear operational setting, rather than a general-purpose lift supply. The buyer is Sellafield Limited, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement has one lot, covering the lift requirement as a whole.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Seymour Engineering Limited. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 9 August 2026 and runs from 9 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £41,250 excluding VAT (£49,500 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement was for a single lot. The published data identifies no evaluation criteria, so there is no stated scoring basis to report. The award is for the rotary lift installation requirement described above.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide a suitable rotary lift as well as manage installation and testing, not simply sell equipment. Experience delivering lifting equipment in an operating nuclear-licensed site would be directly relevant, particularly the ability to work safely within site controls and support nuclear flask handling operations. The awarded contract shows demand for a focused, single-lift installation rather than a broad multi-lot programme. Seymour Engineering Limited was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive scoring model or disclosed technical qualifications. Suppliers seeking similar work from Sellafield should be able to demonstrate relevant equipment, installation capability and reliable testing in this demanding site environment.
