## Summary

Sellafield Ltd commissioned detailed design work for the decommissioning of WAGR and PIE ILW facilities. The requirement is classified as decommissioning services and is treated as works. Delivery is in the Sellafield area, Cumbria, including the CA20 1PG postcode and the wider North West region of England. The work concerns specialist design activity supporting nuclear decommissioning, rather than the supply of general goods or routine services. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those able to provide detailed engineering design for decommissioning environments and understand the technical demands of handling infrastructure associated with intermediate-level radioactive waste. The buying organisation is Sellafield Ltd, which manages the requirement as the end client.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Sellafield Ltd used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 21 August 2026 to AtkinsAltrad for £2,468,737.59. The awarded contract runs from 21 August 2026 to 16 November 2027. The published procurement value and the awarded value are the same. The process was evaluated as a works requirement for decommissioning services. The opportunity was not divided into separately reported lots in the award information. It was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Sellafield Ltd for specialist detailed design supporting nuclear decommissioning and intermediate-level radioactive waste facilities. It is most relevant to established suppliers with the engineering capability, technical assurance processes and nuclear-sector experience needed to design work in a decommissioning environment. The stated procurement route shows that framework access and the ability to compete through a selective call-off are important commercial credentials for this buyer. The requirement is unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating a scale and risk profile better matched to organisations with substantial organisational capacity, specialist personnel and the systems needed to deliver complex design work for Sellafield Ltd.
