## Summary

Sellafield Limited has awarded a contract titled "Agreement for the Supply of Radiometric Protection Instruments - Spares and Consumables" in the nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological protection equipment category to Curtiss-Wright Wimborne Limited. The procurement, completed on 6th October 2025, falls under the goods category and took place in the UKD1 region of the United Kingdom. This award was realised through a limited procurement method without prior publication to address specific technical and proprietary considerations. With the contract status marked as complete, the process adheres to Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, ensuring the supplier holds exclusive rights and intellectual property justifications.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities for Curtiss-Wright by maintaining their position as the exclusive supplier of necessary spares and consumables to Sellafield Limited, hence ensuring consistent operation and maintenance of radiometric protection equipment. Enterprises specialising in nuclear safety equipment and holding proprietary technology rights would be ideally suited for similar procurement processes, given the focus on intellectual property and technical expertise. This scenario highlights the importance of innovation and intellectual asset management for businesses aiming to secure long-term governmental contracts in specialised and technically demanding industries.

## Notice

The contract is for acquiring supplies from the supplier (Curtiss-Wright) to prevent difficulties in operation and maintenance of the Curtiss-Wright radiometric support equipment, ensuring the supplies used are that of the suppliers own equipment (to which the supplier has the Intellectual Property Rights and patents) so that:

- The Radiometric protective equipment is correct and is part of a set of pre-approved type tested equipment which has been evaluated and considered fit and safe for the intended purpose.

- The spares in use meet a predetermined specification which matches the equipment outlined above. As the OEM, the supplier is required to ensure that their spares continue to meet that specification.

The supplier retains the intellectual property rights (IPR) for the Radiometric Protection Instruments, restricting the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies.

### Lot Information

The contract will enable the supplier to continuously support the timely supply of the correct spares required.

As the supplier retains Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) this restricts the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies and ensure the safe operation and maintenance of Curtiss-Wright equipment on site. Additional information: The service provider retains the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) relating to Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR 2015 (the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights).

### Procurement Information

The service provider retains the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for the supplies, and would restrict the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies, with justification for contract award on the grounds of Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR 2015 (the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights).

Regulation 32(5)(b) PCR 2015 also applies (for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance).
