## Summary

Sellafield Limited, operating from Warrington, United Kingdom, has awarded a contract to Chloride for the procurement, installation, commissioning, and setting to work of two uninterrupted power supply systems. This contract, under the public authority - sub-central government category, is valued at £164,411.98 excluding VAT, with options extending it to £197,294.38. The procurement process was completed using a direct award method due to the necessity of maintaining certification standards and the urgency following a catastrophic failure of the existing systems. The process is now in the award stage, with the contract active from 15th January 2026 to 15th May 2026, with a possible extension until 26th June 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in power supply systems and related services such as decommissioning and power supply transformers, particularly those with experience in CE certifications and urgent system replacements. While the contract has already been awarded, similar tenders may offer potential for growth, especially for SMEs equipped to handle direct and sensitive procurement needs like Chloride, which successfully met the specific project requirements. Companies with capacity in rapid response and specialised compliance could leverage similar future procurement opportunities to expand their market presence.

## Notice

This Direct Award is contracted to Chloride at a value of PS164,411.98 excluding VAT. The justification for utilising a DAR is due to the installed UPS systems contained within each CSM/LSM being CE marked, as a result should any modifications be carried out by a third party this would invalidate any such marking which would contravene a mandatory Sellafield Ltd requirement. We were unable to utilise a pre-established Framework with Chloride as this scope fell outside the parameter of the Framework Scope. The project team also sought to understand if Sellafield Ltd had any other avenues to market prior to raising this DAR which were unsuccessful. The current UPS in place has suffered a catastrophic failure event which has led to the urgent replacement and contingency arrangements to be put in place, in the event of any future failures.
