## Summary

Sellafield Limited purchased four canister filters, each nominally 1.0m² and described as multiple-filter units. This is a goods requirement for liquid-filtration machinery and apparatus, with the filters intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Sellafield Limited, a public authority based in Warrington. The requirement is specific to the supply of physical filtration equipment rather than installation, maintenance or a wider facilities-management service. Businesses relevant to this type of procurement include manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist industrial filtration suppliers able to provide canister filters suitable for the buyer’s operational environment and technical requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Camfil Limited was awarded the contract on 18 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 28 January 2027. Its value is £134,865.92 excluding VAT, or £161,839.10 including VAT. The award covers one lot and the selected supplier is Camfil Limited. The purchasing route was a direct award rather than an open tender, so the outcome reflects a completed single-supplier procurement for the specified canister filters.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for industrial canister filters at a substantial unit scale: four nominally 1.0m² multiple-filter units supplied to Sellafield Limited. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in liquid-filtration equipment, reliable manufacture or distribution of canister-filter systems, and the capacity to fulfil a concentrated order of this size within a demanding industrial setting. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established filtration manufacturers, specialist engineering distributors or authorised representatives with dependable supply chains, technical product knowledge and experience serving complex public-sector or industrial customers. Evidence of product suitability, quality assurance, delivery reliability and the ability to support Sellafield’s operational requirements would strengthen future competition.
