## Summary

Sellafield Limited, a public authority sub-central government organisation based in Warrington, has completed the award stage for its procurement process to upgrade its warehouse racking system. The project involves the supply, delivery, and installation of integrated adjustable pallet racking, mesh decks, and floor-mounted guide rails. The procurement method used was a direct award due to specific technical reasons, with Dexion Material Handling Limited from Swindon serving as the supplier. The contract, valued at £273,563 with a gross amount of £328,275.5, will commence on 18 May 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2027. The standstill period ends on 5 May 2026, and the future signature date is scheduled for 11 May 2026.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in warehouse infrastructure, particularly those skilled in racking installation services. The process's direct award nature was justified by the technical proficiency Dexion Material Handling Limited holds over the existing systems. Such contracts cater well to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of offering specialised knowledge in racking systems, potentially fostering growth in the logistical and installation sectors. Companies with the capability to manage large-scale projects and handle complex technical challenges are well-positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities, ensuring safety and cost-effectiveness in supply chain operations.

### Procurement Information

Due to supplier original design, installation and technical knowledge of the racking systems, it is considered that only Dexion Material Handling Ltd can undertake the required works without introducing unacceptable technical and safety risks. Engaging an alternative supplier would require re-engineering, recertification or partial replacement of existing racking, resulting in disproportionate cost, delay and risk. On this basis, the Contracting Authority considers that the conditions for a direct award under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, with reference to Schedule 5, 6(b) (only one supplier capable for technical reasons), are satisfied.
