Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (Dounreay) has completed a public procurement process titled "Project Controls Support for the Reactors Programme," with the industry classified under services furnished by business, professional and specialist organisations. The project is situated in Dounreay, by Thurso, Scotland, United Kingdom. This procurement followed a selective approach, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and reached the award stage with a contract value of £588,092.52. The procurement cycle involved an initial tender period concluding on 5th December 2025, and the contract period will span from 12th January 2026 to 8th January 2027. Although the contract has been awarded to Gleeds Cost Management Limited, potential future opportunities may arise within this framework.

This tender offers significant opportunities for qualified planners and cost engineers, particularly those with expertise in project controls and Earned Value Management, as well as proficiency in change management and risk functions. Businesses that can provide skilled consultants in these areas and adhere to Dounreay’s standards and best practices have the potential to excel in this environment. The call-off framework allows for subsequent opportunities to engage with Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, making it a compelling prospect for SMEs interested in expanding their operations within the UK's nuclear restoration sector.
