## Summary

Sellafield Limited, a public authority classified as sub-central government based in Warrington, UK, has concluded a procurement process for goods titled "B235 Breathing Air Bottle Compressor." The procurement involved a direct approach below threshold and without competition, intended for the purchase of advanced air compressors and associated equipment. The award and contract stage of this procurement process was completed on 12th December 2025 with active contracts scheduled to commence on 22nd December 2025 and end on 5th January 2026. This procurement falls under the industry category of mechanical equipment, with a key requirement for parts of air compressors, as indicated by the CPV classification "42124330." The total contract value was set at £69,912 before applicable taxes.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses skilled in manufacturing or supplying high-specification mechanical and air compression equipment, particularly those who can deliver innovative solutions and quality goods in highly controlled environments. Although this specific contract was awarded to Factair Ltd, a large supplier based in Ipswich, future similar opportunities could arise, benefiting companies with robust supply chain operations capable of meeting specialised requirements without competition, thereby fostering growth potential within this industry segment.
