Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services procured works to demolish the DAMAL Laboratory as part of the Dungeness A Boilers Project. The requirement covers demolition, site preparation and clearance work, including demolition work, and is classified under CPV 45111000. Delivery is at the Dungeness site in Kent, near postcode TN29 9PP, in the South East of England. This is a specialist industrial demolition requirement rather than a supply of goods or routine facilities services. The named buyer is Nuclear Restoration Services, whose work concerns the restoration of nuclear sites. The project title identifies the building and wider programme, while the description identifies the requirement as the demolition of the DAMAL Laboratory, reference C27586.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 2 April 2026 at 12:00. Nuclear Restoration Services awarded the contract to Aureos Highways on 30 July 2026 for £1,233,124 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was classified as works and was assessed through the framework call-off route. The recorded suitability settings indicate that the opportunity was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with Aureos Highways named as the selected supplier.

For competitors, this award is evidence that Nuclear Restoration Services uses framework call-offs for substantial industrial demolition and clearance at its Dungeness site. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in building demolition, site preparation and clearance, with the plant, workforce and management capacity to deliver a sizeable laboratory demolition project. Framework access is commercially important because this procurement route was used to select the contractor. The buyer’s requirement is positioned beyond the stated SME and voluntary-sector suitability settings, indicating a need for an established contractor able to manage a complex works package rather than a small standalone service. Relevant experience delivering controlled demolition and site-clearance works would help a competitor demonstrate fit when this requirement returns to market.
