Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has recently completed the contracting process for the provision of Wide Area Network (WAN) services for the period 2025-2028. The contract, valued at approximately £883,508.40, has been awarded to Redcentric Solutions Limited. This procurement falls under the industry category of wide area network services (CPV code 72720000) and employs a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The services are to be delivered to the NDA's location in Warrington, North West, United Kingdom. The contract period spans from 23rd June 2025 to 22nd June 2028, with the initial tender period concluding on 20th June 2025. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, indicated as recently completed and published on 12th May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in network services, specifically those capable of providing robust WAN solutions. While this particular opportunity has closed with the award to Redcentric Solutions Limited, similar opportunities might arise in future group-wide procurement exercises by the NDA, which is currently reviewing its requirements. Businesses specialising in technology migration and network services could find substantial growth possibilities by aligning with the NDA's technological needs. Suppliers with a track record in framework agreements and the ability to deliver complex network solutions across large organisations would be well-positioned to compete in this space. Although this specific contract was not targeted towards SMEs or VCSEs, future tenders could offer broader participation opportunities.
