## Summary

The procurement process titled "Sellafield Mixed Metals 2024" has been completed, involving Nuclear Waste Services as the buying organisation. The tender focused on the service management of mixed metallic waste at the Sellafield site in the North West of the United Kingdom, classified under Radioactive waste treatment services (CPV code 90521000). The process took place through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 3 June 2025 to 2 June 2029, with a contract value of £12,100,000. The procurement stage here is the award stage, with Cyclife UK being the awarded supplier as of 3 June 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management services, particularly those experienced in handling large volumes of industrial waste and radioactive materials. While SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this selective procurement, larger corporations or joint ventures with expertise in nuclear waste services would be well-positioned to compete and benefit from such high-value projects. Firms with the capacity to manage guaranteed waste volumes and respond to call-off demands can leverage such contracts for business growth and expansion within the waste management industry.
