Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Concrete and Grout Mixing Trials" is currently in the planning stage. The buying organisation is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, located at the Winfrith Site in Winfrith Newburgh, South West, United Kingdom. This tender involves the construction industry, specifically classified under concrete work (CPV code: 45262300), with a project value of £50,000. Businesses have until the engagement end date on 26th November 2025 to partake in the initial market engagement activities. The primary objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a mobile mixer for the encapsulation of nuclear waste, adhering to specific requirements and standards, with operations primarily situated in the DT2 8WG postal code area.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in concrete work and mobile mixing technologies. It involves working closely on innovative trials, offering SMEs the chance to collaborate on high-value government projects and foster expertise in niche market segments of nuclear waste management. Businesses with skills in bespoke concrete and grout production, particularly those capable of meeting stringent safety and environmental standards, are well-suited to compete in this procurement process, potentially opening doors to further government contracts in the nuclear sector.
