## Summary

Sellafield Limited procured three bespoke trolleys for use with an electric compressor. The trolleys are designed to interact with the compressor and supply emergency breathing air if the compressor fails. This is a specialist goods requirement rather than a general trolley supply, involving bespoke equipment for an industrial safety and operational resilience application. The procurement was for Sellafield Limited, a public authority based in Warrington. The requirement sits within the industrial equipment and safety-support market, and is relevant to manufacturers and engineering businesses able to design and supply purpose-built mobile equipment that integrates with compressor systems and supports emergency breathing-air provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Factair Ltd. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and awarded on 3 August 2026. It covers one requirement for three bespoke trolleys. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 3 September 2026. Its value is £51,710.34 excluding VAT, or £62,052.40 including VAT. Factair Ltd is the selected supplier and the contract is active. The published outcome records a completed procurement rather than an opportunity for new bids, providing a clear example of Sellafield’s route to market for this type of specialist equipment.

This award indicates demand for small-volume, bespoke industrial equipment where the supplier must translate an operational safety requirement into a workable trolley design. Competitors would need capability in mechanical or industrial product design, fabrication and supply of purpose-built trolleys, together with the ability to make equipment interact reliably with electric compressors. Understanding emergency breathing-air applications and compressor-failure scenarios would help a supplier demonstrate credible technical judgement. Businesses should also be able to deliver equipment to a defined specification, manage a short production and delivery requirement, and support a public-sector nuclear-site customer. The successful supplier’s profile shows that established specialist equipment providers can compete through a direct, below-threshold purchasing route.
