## Summary

Sellafield Limited procured engineering services to replace Alimak cages and mast sections on plant. The work is associated with Alimak access equipment and concerns the replacement of both the cages and the mast sections, rather than a general equipment supply. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for Sellafield Limited’s operations. The selected supplier was Alimak Group UK Ltd, a large UK-based company located in Rushden, Northamptonshire. This requirement is relevant to businesses providing engineering, access-equipment, industrial plant or specialist maintenance services, particularly those able to work on Alimak systems or comparable cages and mast assemblies. The buyer is a public authority operating at sub-central government level.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, for one lot. Alimak Group UK Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 30 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £90,666.67 excluding VAT, or £108,800 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct-award route, so there was no competitive tender process or published competition between suppliers. The outcome provides a clear example of the buyer’s route for procuring this type of specialist engineering work.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need demonstrable capability to replace Alimak cages and mast sections on operational plant. Relevant suppliers are likely to be engineering businesses with practical experience of access equipment, mast systems, industrial maintenance or comparable specialist replacement work. They would need the technical ability to plan and carry out equipment replacement safely and effectively, with sufficient delivery capacity for a substantial plant-based assignment. Experience of Alimak equipment would be directly relevant, while comparable engineering work could help demonstrate capability. The award also shows that Sellafield Limited has used a direct, below-threshold procurement route for this requirement, making knowledge of its purchasing practices commercially useful.
