Britain's biggest nuclear site set to outlast SAP support
"Sellafield Limited, which runs the site in West Cumbria, has begun market engagement with a view to procuring up to £90 million in technology services to support its applications and infrastructure. Sellafield, formerly known as Windscale, has been the center of the UK's nuclear industry since the 1950s. While the site is home to a number of companies and the government's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Sellafield Limited is a British nuclear decommissioning Site Licence Company controlled by the NDA."
"Included in the plans set out in a published tender document are application management services, in an agreement worth up to an estimated £41.51 million over five years, from April 2027 to April 2032 with the option to extend another two years. It said 118 applications are set to come under the arrangement, including Sellafield's SAP ERP system, which, although classed as a single business application, comprises 19 products and components, as well as HANA and Adaptive Server Enterprise databases."

The procurement includes application management services worth up to an estimated £41.51 million over five years from April 2027 to April 2032 with a two-year extension option. The scope covers 118 applications, including an on-premises SAP ERP system comprising 19 products and components plus HANA and Adaptive Server Enterprise databases. The on-premises SAP environment runs ECC6 Business Suite, introduced in 2005, while the organisation also uses SAP SaaS for HR, learning, and expenses. SAP upgrades require Cloud SAP contracts, prompting a phased migration to a cloud-based ERP between 2027 and 2030, and consideration of extended support for legacy SAP during the transition.
