Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (Dounreay) procured senior civil and structural engineering support for the FCA. The requirement is classified as civil engineering support services and falls within the services category. The appointed engineer is intended to support the buyer’s activities at Dounreay, Thurso, in Scotland. The procurement concerns professional engineering capability rather than construction works, equipment supply or a standalone infrastructure project. It was arranged by the Dounreay operation of Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, whose base is at Dounreay, Thurso. The requirement was delivered through a Technical & Professional Support Services Framework mini-competition, so it was aimed at suppliers already able to participate through that framework route. The published scope identifies one senior civil/structural engineering support requirement for the FCA.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective mini-competition call-off from a framework agreement. NSG Environmental Ltd was awarded the contract on 22 July 2026 for £371,679.66 including the stated award value. The wider estimated procurement value was £422,833.60, with a stated minimum value of £371,679.66. The tender submission deadline was 2 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (Dounreay) is the buyer. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is for senior civil/structural engineering support to the FCA. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services Limited’s Dounreay operation for senior civil and structural engineering support delivered through a professional services framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need senior-level civil and structural engineering capability, the capacity to provide sustained professional support, and the ability to operate within a framework mini-competition. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment indicates that SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises can be relevant supplier types. Firms with a clear service offering in civil and structural engineering support, experienced senior personnel and the organisational capacity to work with a nuclear restoration client would be best placed to assess comparable requirements from this buyer.
