Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), based in Cumbria, has completed a procurement process titled 'NDA9/00916.071 - Support on Spent Fuels,' which falls under the industry category of Research and Development Services. This selective procurement was executed as a call-off from the NDA Strategy Framework, with a minimum contract value of £120,000 and a final award value of £99,959.05 to TUV SUD Ltd, a large-scale enterprise located in East Kilbride, Glasgow. The process reached the award stage, with the award being published on 10th July 2025, and the contract duration spans from 14th May 2025 to 31st March 2026. The tender was open to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), but not Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), and had a delivery reach stretching across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and potentially the Rest of the World.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy and research and development services, particularly those specialising in nuclear activities. Such a contract allows a company to establish an influential relationship with the NDA and expand its footprint in the nuclear energy sector, enhancing its reputation and credibility. The procurement's selective method under a framework agreement suggests that businesses already prequalified had an advantage, but future opportunities may arise for companies well-versed in strategic framework agreements. While TUV SUD Ltd has secured the current contract, SMEs focussing on similar services should prepare themselves for forthcoming opportunities, potentially expanding their operations and increasing their market share in this strategically important industry.
