## Summary

Sellafield Limited, a public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed a direct contract award process for the provision of independent members to its Nuclear Safety and Security Committees (SLNSC and SLNSyC). This procurement falls under the services category and involves safety consultancy services, with Afry Solutions UK Limited as the supplier. The procurement is in the award stage, having commenced on 5th May 2026, with a contract period from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2027. The value of the contract stands at £300,000, with the awarding scheduled under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis. The procurement aims to ensure compliance with the Nuclear Site Licence Conditions by maintaining robust nuclear safety advisory services.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for companies that specialise in consultancy services, especially those focusing on safety and regulatory compliance within the nuclear industry. Companies with expertise in providing independent and impartial advisory services would find this contract particularly suitable. Participating in such procurements can aid businesses in expanding their portfolio by becoming involved directly with key players in the nuclear sector, such as Sellafield Limited, thereby enhancing their reputation as specialists in this field. Large-scale consulting firms with established experience in managing safety committees are ideally positioned to leverage this opportunity for growth and increased industry presence.

## Notice

Site Licence Condition LC13 requires the establishment of a Nuclear Safety Committee (NSC) with a minimum of one independent member. Failure by SL to comply with this requirement would constitute a breach of the site licence conditions.

### Procurement Information

Maintaining continuity of committee membership supports effective decision-making, robust independent challenge, and consistent nuclear safety advice to the Licensee. A lack of continuity increases the risk of losing critical historical knowledge, weakens independent scrutiny, and reduces committee effectiveness due to repeated induction and familiarisation. This may also compromise compliance with Nuclear Site Licence Condition 13, which requires the provision of adequate independent nuclear safety advice.
