Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited commissioned PFAS sampling and analysis at its remaining untested sites, including a second PFAS investigation at Harwell. The requirement covers ground investigation services, including the collection of samples and laboratory analysis for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Delivery is associated with the Harwell site at postal area OX11 0DF and may also cover locations across the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. This is a specialist environmental investigation and analytical services requirement for a nuclear restoration organisation, rather than general construction or routine environmental monitoring.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 20 August 2026 at 12:00. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited awarded the contract to WSP UK Ltd on 10 September 2026. The awarded value is £94,826 including the stated currency, compared with an estimated procurement value of £85,000. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and the wider tender is complete. The published information identifies the requirement as services and ground investigation, but does not set out a separate award scoring breakdown or named evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services for specialist PFAS investigation at nuclear-related sites, combining field sampling with analytical capability. Competitors seeking comparable work would need to show that they can plan and carry out sampling across potentially dispersed locations, manage chain of custody and produce reliable PFAS laboratory results suitable for environmental investigation and remediation decisions. Credible suppliers are likely to need experience of technically controlled site work, contaminated land or ground investigations, and the ability to work within a public-sector framework call-off route. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a scale, assurance or delivery model more suited to an established specialist consultancy or laboratory-led contractor with sufficient operational capacity.
