## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Sellafield Limited, involved the direct award of a contract titled "New Sources For RPI Equipment Maintenance." The process, which reached the contract stage on 23rd January 2026, involves the acquisition of 42 radioactive sources for the maintenance of RPI equipment. The sources are intended to facilitate expanded work scope for RPI services teams at Sellafield Limited, located in Warrington, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the goods category within the nuclear industry and directly encompasses radioactive sources identified by CPV code 09343000. The contract period is active from 24th January 2026 to 3rd April 2026, with a total award value of £224,748.00. The direct procurement method was justified by the immediate need for these sources to ensure continued workflow and the capability for simultaneous operations.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of radioactive materials and associated equipment. Companies with established capabilities in the production or sourcing of nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological protection equipment, particularly those capable of swift and secure delivery, would find this an attractive opportunity for business growth. Given Sellafield Limited's status as a public authority - sub-central government, companies already servicing or seeking to enter the UK public sector markets, especially within the nuclear supply chain, could leverage this contract to establish or enhance their presence in the industry. The direct award process also indicates the potential for long-term partnerships, particularly for suppliers able to meet the specific technical and operational requirements of the contracting authority.

## Notice

Purchase of 42 radioactive sources for maintenance of RPI equipment and the delivery of these sources. Required due to expanding scope of work within RPI services teams and the team receiving the scope currently have no sources to carry out this work. The sources will also be used in areas with low number of sources currently to allow for work to be carried simultaneously by RPI instrument mechanics allowing for smoother work flow and greater work week completion. Other sources within the quote are to be used for further instrument evaluation by the SL IC team but are to be stored within the B151 store and used by Cavendish nuclear when required.
