Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Ltd commissioned specialist ground investigation services for the Chapelcross site near Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The requirement covers updating the Chapelcross qualitative risk assessment, land quality register and associated map, together with an APC element. The work is environmental and land-quality consultancy linked to the assessment and management of ground-related risks at a nuclear restoration site. The CPV classification is 71351500, ground investigation services. Delivery is associated with the site address at Chapelcross, Annan, DG12 6RF, and the wider location is Scotland. The buyer is Nuclear Restoration Services Ltd, the organisation responsible for the requirement and its use in the restoration programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 July 2026 at 10:00. The estimated procurement value was £30,000. Nuclear Restoration Services Ltd awarded the contract to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited on 20 July 2026 for £28,031.45. The awarded contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was treated as a services requirement and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, so the selected supplier is contracted to undertake the stated requirement during the specified period.

This award indicates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services for specialist environmental and land-quality advice supporting nuclear site restoration. A credible future competitor would need to combine ground investigation expertise with the ability to update qualitative risk assessments, maintain a land quality register, produce or revise mapped information, and address the APC requirement as defined in the technical documents. Experience of working with contaminated or potentially contaminated land, environmental risk evaluation and regulated restoration settings would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to deliver clear, auditable technical outputs for a complex operational site and compete through the relevant framework route. The award to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited shows the requirement was placed with an established multidisciplinary consultancy.
