The competition is set to commence in late May 2026, with the procurement currently in the planning stage. The services fall under the information technology category, focusing on supporting on-premise server and infrastructure, data centres, and application management. Locations of service delivery include Warrington and Corsham in the United Kingdom. The contract will span a duration from April 2027 to April 2034, with a revised estimated value of £76.1 million. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in ICT infrastructure and application management services, particularly those capable of handling complex data centre environments and a broad application portfolio. Companies that are part of the TS4 framework, specifically those in Lots 4 and 5, are well-suited to compete. The focus on reducing duplication and streamlining service delivery can catalyse business growth for suppliers who can offer innovative solutions to enhance service maturity and manage application and infrastructure efficiently. Small and medium-sized enterprises, being explicitly mentioned for suitability, have a lucrative opportunity to grow their market presence through this contract. ## Notice Sellafield Ltd plans to call for competition for ICT Infrastructure & Application Management Services (IAMS) under the Technology Services 4 (TS4) Framework Agreement (RM6190). The call for competition is now anticipated to commence in late May 2026. Participation in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) will be restricted to suppliers appointed to both: * TS4 Lot 4 - Infrastructure Management * TS4 Lot 5 - Applications & Data Management Scope: * Support of all on-premise server & infrastructure and operating systems, including management of supporting tools. * Support of 5 Data Centres including Sellafield Main Site (3), Risley (Warrington UK) and Crown Hosting (Corsham) locations. * IaaS and PaaS infrastructure management using HPe and Dell VXRail technologies. * Build management service across multiple operating systems. * Control and management of the storage provisioning service, including backup and restore and cross data centre replication. * Application support (incident management and change requests), and application maintenance including the delivery of routine application patching and upgrades. * On-premises application portfolio varies in business importance, complexity, support requirements, and technology (SQL and Oracle). * Initially a total of 118 applications in scope including SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), reducing over the term. Volumetrics include some NDA group requirements. * SAP ERP is classed as a single business application within the 118 number above. SAP comprises 19 products/components, as well as HANA and ASE database support. We will move to a new ERP cloud solution by December 2030 which is out of the scope of this contract. * Applications within with the Sellafield Ltd Microsoft Azure environment are managed by an internal cloud operations capability and excluded from contract scope. Note: This notice replaces the prior UK2 notice issued on 30/09/2025. The previously stated two Lot structure and contracting approach has been revised. The requirement will now be delivered through one single contract covering both applications and infrastructure scope, without Lots. This consolidated approach streamlines delivery, reduces duplication, and results in a revised estimated contract value of PS76.1m. Update 02/03/2026: The contract duration has been updated to 7 years (revised from the previously stated 5 + 2 years). ### Planning Information No further formal Pre-Market Engagement will take place, other than advance issuance of the draft Scope and specific Sellafield Ltd T&Cs which will form the basis of the competition planned to commence late May 2026. Release will be constrained to suppliers who have successfully been approved on both relevant TS4 Lots by CCS and not via any open market process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018199-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 May 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Apr 2027 - 18 Apr 2034 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £76,100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SELLAFIELD LIMITED | | Locality | WARRINGTON | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA3 6GR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD61 Warrington | | Local authority | Warrington | | Electoral ward | Birchwood | | Westminster constituency | Warrington North | | Delivery location | TLD11 West Cumbria, TLD61 Warrington | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72222300 - Information technology services ## Release History - 2 Mar 2026 at 08:35 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018199-2026 - 26 Feb 2026 at 08:55 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017143-2026 - 30 Sep 2025 at 14:37 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060974-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018199-2026 2nd March 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017143-2026 26th February 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060974-2025 30th September 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/sellafield-ltd - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
