Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services commissioned a digital Mission Control System for NRS Dounreay. The requirement covers the design, build and deployment of a system to improve programme delivery through standardised processes, embedded governance controls, better data quality and real-time reporting. The service scope includes discovery and requirements definition, governance and process design, development of templates and tools, platform architecture, system build and configuration, testing, refinement, and support for readiness for wider rollout. This is a digital delivery and business process improvement service, rather than a general staffing requirement. The work is associated with Dounreay in Scotland, with the buyer, Nuclear Restoration Services, based in Warrington. The opportunity was identified as suitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at 12:00. Nuclear Restoration Services awarded the contract to Alexander Mann Solutions Limited on 14 September 2026. The awarded value is £342,744. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process. The award is active, and the requirement covers a single Mission Control System service encompassing discovery, design, development, deployment, testing and rollout-readiness support. This is an outcome of the procurement rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for the contract.

This award indicates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services for suppliers able to combine digital product delivery with programme governance and process improvement in a nuclear restoration environment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to lead structured discovery and requirements definition, translate governance needs into practical processes, and design a reliable platform architecture. Relevant capability includes configuring and building digital tools, developing reusable templates, improving data quality, producing real-time management reporting, and carrying out rigorous testing and refinement. Suppliers should also be able to support operational readiness and wider rollout, not just deliver software. Experience working with complex, controlled programmes and multiple stakeholder groups would strengthen credibility, alongside the capacity to provide an integrated service from design through implementation and support.
