## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Sellafield Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Warrington, UK, involved the provision of a self-drive hire bus service. This contract, under the services category, was awarded on 18th November 2025 and is set to run until 22nd May 2026. The procurement adopted a direct method below the threshold, meaning it was secured without competition.
