Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services is buying specialist technical support for the Hunterston B Old Waste Pond Facility project in Scotland. The work concerns high-activity waste management, including options appraisal and concept design for pond decommissioning and delivery of the site’s Safestore. The support is intended to help develop technically robust, compliant and cost-effective solutions, in line with Scottish Government policy on high-activity waste. This is a specialist engineering and technical advisory service, rather than a purchase of equipment or construction works. The procurement is classified as personnel supply services (CPV 79620000), but its described purpose is project-specific decommissioning engineering expertise.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Nuclear Restoration Services selected Alexander Mann Solutions Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 12 October 2026, at a value of £325,000. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The original tender set a submission deadline of 12 October 2026 and an estimated value of £325,000. The service was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria, so the basis used to select the supplier cannot be described. The awarded value and contract period relate to this single supplier and award.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services for specialist engineering support on nuclear decommissioning, high-activity waste and waste-pond projects. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to combine technical expertise in waste management with the ability to develop and assess options, contribute to concept design, and support delivery-critical decommissioning and Safestore work. Solutions must be technically robust, compliant with Scottish Government high-activity waste policy and cost-effective. The award was made through a selective framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the capacity to supply specialist personnel through that route would matter. The stated SME suitability indicates that businesses of this size may be well placed to compete, provided they can demonstrate the required project-specific expertise.
