Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Harwell Groundwater Treatment Plant Post Closure Monitoring" was conducted by Nuclear Restoration Services Ltd, located in Annan, UK. This particular contract falls under the services category, specifically focusing on groundwater pollution monitoring or control services, with an industry classification of CPV 90733700. The project is situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The process has reached the award stage as of 27th July 2026, following the tender period that ended on 20th July 2026. The contract is set to commence on 28th July 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental monitoring and remediation services, particularly those with experience in the nuclear sector. Despite being awarded to WSP UK Ltd, similar contracts may arise in the future, offering prospects for companies specialising in various environmental services. However, the procurement was deemed unsuitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), indicating that larger firms with substantial resources are better positioned to compete in such frameworks.
