The procurement process, categorised under safety consultancy services within the nuclear industry, is currently in the Award stage, having completed the Tender phase. The tender period concluded on 6th June 2018, and the contract commenced on 2nd July 2018, with an expected end date of 30th June 2020, valued at £2,000,000, with a minimum financial threshold set at £1,000,000.

Notice Title

Safety Consultancy Services (Nuclear) - Framework Agreement

Notice Description

NNL have a requirement for third party Safety Consultancy services to support operations. Currently these requirements are fulfilled through an existing suite of framework agreements, awarded in 2013 and further extended in 2016, however there is a need to approach the market again. Since moving to Contracting Authority status in 2017 NNL are now required to competitively tender all above threshold supplier needs in accordance with OJEU Procurement Regulations. Quite often, the need for NNL to enlist Safety Consultancy support is client driven so having pre-qualified, commercially viable suppliers improves NNL's speed of response. Multi-supplier frameworks will allow NNL to be agile enough to meet client needs without having to conduct multiple Procurements adhering to OJEU timescales. NNL's approach will be to award a number of framework agreements against four defined Lots, on a two years plus one plus one basis. Suppliers who are successfully selected to a framework will then be invited to bid on all opportunities under the successful Lot on a mini-competition basis.
