## Summary

Sellafield Limited is actively engaged in the procurement process for the MSSS (Magnox Swarf Storage Silo) Boxes, intended for the manufacture and supply of these box assemblies as essential containers for waste materials. The procurement covers several industry categories including miscellaneous fabricated products, specifically positioning it within the regions of WordPress Warrington (UKD61) and delivery within the United Kingdom (UKD11). This process is currently in the tender update stage, with an active status and a competitive selective procurement method, adhering to the Procurement Act 2023. Key dates include the extended deadline for expression of interest by 10 July 2026, while clarifications need to be submitted by 29 June 2026. Three separate lots have been included in this £108 million project, spread over a contract term from July 2027 to July 2034.

This procurement represents significant potential for business growth, particularly for enterprises specializing in manufacturing boxes for waste material storage, fabrications, and related sectors. The opportunity is well-suited to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to its emphasis on selective competitive procurement that enables various suppliers to tender. Given the project's complexity and risk level, companies keen to participate must design solutions that meet stringent safety and storage standards. With a total of three active lots, each company can bid on no more than three yet may only be awarded one under usual circumstances unless they are the sole compliant bidder within a lot, allowing diverse business opportunities across different capabilities and specialisations to flourish.
