## Summary

Sellafield Limited procured legal services recruitment. The requirement concerns recruitment for legal services, rather than the provision of legal advice or representation itself. The buyer is Sellafield Limited, and the service is delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a single-lot service requirement awarded to one supplier. The procurement title and description identify the recruitment purpose but do not set out specific roles, candidate profiles or recruitment activities, so the scope should be understood as legal-services recruitment for Sellafield rather than a broader legal-services commission.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sellafield Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. BCL Legal Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from that date until 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. There was one lot, and the award relates to that lot. The published procurement information does not state separate quality or price evaluation criteria; the supplier was appointed through the non-competitive route.

This award shows demand from Sellafield Limited for recruitment focused on legal services, giving specialist legal recruitment firms a clear indication of the buyer’s requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to source and assess candidates for legal roles, understand the relevant legal-sector talent market, and deliver recruitment services suited to a large public-sector client. BCL Legal Ltd, identified as a large supplier, secured the work through a direct award rather than an open competition. That provides evidence of the type of specialist supplier used for this requirement, but not of formal accreditation, technical standards or particular candidate qualifications. Firms with relevant legal recruitment experience and capacity to support Sellafield’s hiring needs are the closest match when this requirement returns to market.
