## Summary

Sellafield Limited procured goods for the rebuild of polar crane and hoist module gearboxes. The requirement is for gearboxes associated with a polar crane, covering the supply needed to support the crane and hoist module rebuild. Sellafield Limited is the buying organisation, based in Warrington. The awarded goods are classified as gearboxes and are intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist industrial equipment requirement rather than a general maintenance or consultancy service. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors, refurbishment specialists and engineering businesses able to provide gearbox equipment for crane and hoist applications, particularly where the supplier can support a defined rebuild requirement and meet the buyer’s technical and delivery arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Park Gate & Co Ltd. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, and covered one lot. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 November 2026. Its value is £125,340 excluding VAT, or £150,408 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender; the recorded route was a below-threshold direct purchase without competition. The selected supplier is Park Gate & Co Ltd, a large business based in Carlisle. The requirement concerns the purchase of polar crane gearboxes for Sellafield Limited.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist gearbox supply supporting the rebuild of a polar crane and hoist module at Sellafield Limited. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the technical ability to identify, supply or rebuild gearboxes suitable for crane and hoist equipment, and to manage delivery of the required components within a short, specified contract period. Businesses with established industrial gearbox manufacturing, refurbishment, repair or distribution capability are the closest fit. Experience coordinating replacement equipment for heavy lifting or engineering assets would strengthen a supplier’s position, provided it can evidence relevant technical quality and reliable fulfilment. The procurement also shows that Sellafield uses direct, below-threshold purchasing for this type of defined goods requirement, so suppliers should understand how to present a clear, technically appropriate offer for a focused equipment need.
