Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed a procurement process titled "UKIFS Justification Application Decision Document Preparation" under the Defra Nuclear Power Regulatory Justification Services Framework. The contract, valued at £150,139.40, involves the provision of external nuclear energy consultancy expertise to support the assessment of new nuclear power classes or types of practice. Defra group Commercial, based in London, is the buying organisation, and the project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on environmental issues consultancy services. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, culminating in an active award on 15 May 2026, with the contract in effect from 1 June 2026 to 30 September 2026, located in London, UK.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for large consultancy firms specialising in environmental and technical analysis services within the nuclear energy sector. Given the specific expertise required and the structured procurement process via a framework agreement, businesses already experienced in handling complex regulatory and justification processes for nuclear projects would be well-suited to compete. Such contracts can enhance a company's portfolio and provide access to ongoing regulatory consultancy opportunities managed by government departments like Defra.
