Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involved the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory (UKNNL) seeking services for a "Fire Safety Assessment" through a selective procurement method and a restricted procedure. The process reached the award stage on 20th June 2025, with the contract awarded to RPS Consulting Services Limited. The procurement pertained to fire and explosion protection consultancy services (CPV 71317100), and was part of the mini competition under the UKNNL Dynamic Purchasing System NNLC484. The contracting process started with the tender end date being 21st May 2025, followed by a contract period from 22nd May to 23rd May 2025, and ultimately extending through to 31st August 2025. The procurement was open to SMEs and covered regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract was valued at approximately £27,098.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in safety and consultancy services, particularly those able to offer niche expertise in fire protection for both conventional and nuclear environments. Given its suitability for SMEs and its broad geographic coverage, businesses in these areas can leverage such contracts to expand their service offerings and client base. Organisations similar in scale to RPS Consulting Services Limited, which have the capacity to manage such specialised and large-scale assessments, are ideally positioned to compete for similar projects in future, enabling them to reinforce their market presence within the nuclear industry consultancy domain.
