Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-London: Nuclear Science and Engineering Expertise

Notice Description

The National Audit Office's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority financial audit team has identified the need for expert support across several areas in order to ensure that our audit work is sufficiently robust and based on a solid technical understanding. There are two requirements we are looking to fulfil: Firstly, we seek an Academic with expertise in nuclear power/decommissioning, to obtain a view on the technical/scientific judgements arrived at (Lot 1). Secondly, we seek a Nuclear Consultant/Engineer, who is able to provide a view on both the technical elements of work, plus the actual project costs likely to be arrived at from doing so (Lot 2). We will consider bids from suppliers who are able to meet one or both requirements. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
