Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, titled "NDA9/00916/074 Project Saltus - 25/26 Strategic Support", was facilitated by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority based in West Cumbria, UK. This contract, classified under Research and Development services, was awarded through a selective procurement method known as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement commenced with a tender period ending on 27th June 2025 and was awarded on 11th July 2025. The contract is set to run from 9th July 2025 to 26th March 2026, with a contract value of £200,122.46. Its geographical scope includes British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the rest of the world.

This procurement offers lucrative growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are particularly suited for this contract, can benefit significantly by engaging with a high-profile client like the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. Although the supplier, TUV SUD Ltd, is a large-scale enterprise, the framework nature of this tender process illustrates the type of strategic contracts SMEs could aspire to. Businesses with expertise in consultancy services related to strategic support in decommissioning projects would be well-positioned to compete in future similar procurements.
