## Summary

The procurement process involves Sellafield Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, United Kingdom, awarding a contract for the "Design and development of XR projects." This procurement falls under the services category and took place via a direct award method, justified due to intellectual property rights held by the supplier, V360 Energy Ltd, based in Manchester. Key dates include the award notice published on 20th June 2025, the contract's original commencement on 9th June 2025 (later adjusted to 3rd July 2025 for publication purposes), and an end date of 8th June 2026. The procurement is complete, with all necessary documentation filed accordingly.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in extended reality (XR) technologies and design support services, particularly those capable of managing projects involving intellectual property considerations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas could find this contract beneficial, as its direct award nature suggests that the procuring entity values existing relationships and proprietary solutions. The successful supplier, V360 Energy Ltd, exemplifies the potential for growth and engagement with central government projects within the UK market. The substantial contract value of £380,000, excluding VAT, further underscores the business growth potential associated with this procurement opportunity.

## Notice

Design and development of XR projects - To discover, develop and deliver the production of Extended Reality (XR) products. Continuing the previous 2-years of XR development, this contract is to bridge the gap in services whilst a new tender is carried out. *Correct contract start date was the 9th June 2025 , but FTS system will not accept this date for publication purposes.

### Procurement Information

Under Schedule 5, Paragraph 5 of PA2023, a direct award is justifiable where the contract can only be supplied by a specific supplier due to intellectual property (IP) rights and no reasonable alternatives exist. In this case, the supplier retains exclusive ownership of the source code, meaning transitioning to a new supplier would require a complete redevelopment of existing work, resulting in significant financial and time costs that render alternative options impractical.
