## Summary

Sellafield Limited bought maintenance, inspection, repair and breakdown support for its Elgamill milling machine. The work covers scheduled maintenance visits, fault diagnosis, repair activities, breakdown response and associated services needed to keep the machine operational. The machine is used to maintain nuclear fuel flasks, so the requirement supports equipment availability for this specialist nuclear-fuel maintenance activity. This is machinery maintenance and repair work. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement identifies no more specific delivery place. Sellafield Limited is the buyer, and the requirement concerns one milling machine rather than a broad machinery-maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Seymour Engineering Ltd. Sellafield used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £132,400 excluding VAT and £158,880 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and contract, but gives no award date or evaluation criteria. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded. The requirement was for services, with the contract covering maintenance, inspection, repair and breakdown support for the Elgamill machine used in maintaining nuclear fuel flasks.

For future work of this kind, a credible supplier would need the engineering capability to maintain and inspect an Elgamill milling machine, diagnose faults, carry out repairs and respond effectively to breakdowns. The buyer’s requirement centres on keeping a specific machine operational, including through scheduled maintenance and responsive support, rather than supplying general engineering services. Relevant experience maintaining comparable milling machinery and evidence of dependable response and repair capability would therefore be important in demonstrating fit. The award shows that Sellafield has procured this specialist support directly, without competition, for a single machine serving nuclear fuel flask maintenance. Suppliers whose work covers this equipment and operational context are the most closely aligned competitors when Sellafield’s requirement arises again.
