Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has successfully concluded a procurement process titled "NDA/C17430/20 Pu Immobilisation SME Support" within the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy. This selective tender, executed under a framework agreement, focused on providing services in the North West of the United Kingdom. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the award active as of 16th March 2026, and publication of the award notice on the 27th March 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £109,700, is set to commence on 23rd March 2026 and will span until 31st March 2029. The contract aims to foster collaboration in the field of plutonium immobilisation, thereby contributing to the NDA's overarching mission in nuclear decommissioning.

This tender presents substantial growth possibilities for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with expertise in nuclear science and technology. Given the NDA's priority areas and the pivotal nature of plutonium immobilisation, companies that possess robust capabilities in scientific consultancy and project delivery are well-suited for engaging in such contracts. Large-scale enterprises with substantial resources, like the National Nuclear Laboratory, are ideally positioned to benefit from these opportunities. As the procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement, businesses previously engaged with similar frameworks may also find avenues to enhance their portfolio through participation in future tenders of this nature.
