## Summary

Sellafield Ltd commissioned an equal pay review, a human resources consultancy service, for its operations in Cumbria. The work concerns reviewing pay equality; the procurement lists no further tasks or deliverables. Delivery is associated with the CA24 3HU postcode in Cumbria, North West England. This is a specialist advisory requirement for a supplier able to assess pay arrangements in an organisational setting. The buyer is Sellafield Ltd, based at Westlakes Science Park, Moor Row. The contract is for services rather than goods or construction, and is focused on equal pay rather than broader HR support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Deloitte LLP on 23 September 2026. The awarded value is £106,500. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 23 February 2028. Sellafield Ltd used a direct, single-tender action below the procurement threshold. The earlier submission deadline was 29 April 2026 at 12:00. The published information describes the requirement as an equal pay review but gives no evaluation criteria or separate lot structure. The award is recorded as active, with no indication that the contract has been terminated or the award cancelled.

This award shows demand at Sellafield Ltd for focused equal-pay consultancy, delivered as a defined review rather than a wider HR services package. Deloitte LLP was selected through a single-tender route, so the outcome demonstrates the buyer’s use of direct procurement for this requirement; it does not establish a competitive evaluation benchmark. A credible supplier for similar work would need demonstrable expertise in pay equality analysis and the capacity to deliver a review for a large, specialist organisation in Cumbria. Evidence of sound methods for examining pay structures and identifying potential disparities would be relevant to competing when this requirement returns to market. The award provides a concrete example of the type and scale of work bought by this buyer, without indicating that other services formed part of the commission.
