Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited is conducting a procurement process for the "Phase 1 Evaluation of the ISCF Low Cost Nuclear Challenge" in the research and development consultancy services industry. The procurement method employed is selective, via a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the tender period having ended on 2nd November 2020. The contract period was set from 30th November 2020 to 26th April 2021, and the procurement's aim is to support the UK's Clean Growth Grand Challenge by preparing a technical feasibility study for small modular reactor solutions in the nuclear sector. Interested parties should note that the tender process has now been completed.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in research and development consultancy, particularly those engaged in market and economic research. Companies involved in the nuclear energy sector, or those who specialise in feasibility studies and regulatory compliance, would be well positioned to benefit from similar future contracts arising from ongoing evaluations and developments under the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund. The overall goal aims to push forward the UK's ambitions for low-carbon energy solutions, making this an attractive area for innovation and investment.

Notice Title

CR20096 - Phase 1 Evaluation of the ISCF Low Cost Nuclear Challenge

Notice Description

** THIS TENDER IS CLOSED ** Award of contract via the CCS DPS Agreement RM6018 via further competition. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. The LCN challenge will support delivery of the Clean Growth Grand Challenge, and consists of 2 phases of activity. Phase 1 is effectively an enabling phase in which the consortium will prepare a technical feasibility study of their SMR solution in preparation for regulatory scrutiny in Phase 2.
