Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured asbestos analytical support for the D1215 requirement. The work is classified alongside asbestos removal services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in Scotland, including the KW14 7TZ postcode area. The requirement concerns specialist analytical support connected with asbestos-related activities, rather than a general facilities management or construction service. It is relevant to organisations providing asbestos surveying, sampling, analysis, monitoring or closely related technical support, particularly those able to work in or around nuclear restoration operations. The named buyer is Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, which is responsible for the D1215 requirement and is based at Dounreay, by Thurso.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 14 July 2026 at 12:00. Its estimated value was £300,000. The contract was awarded on 10 August 2026 to Tersus Consultancy Limited for £945,509. The awarded contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 28 February 2028. The procurement records the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. There was one active award and one supplier. The published outcome identifies Tersus Consultancy Limited as the successful supplier. The award value is stated separately from the original estimated tender value and should not be treated as an amendment or combined total.

This outcome shows that Nuclear Restoration Services Limited buys specialist asbestos analytical support for its D1215 operations in Scotland through a dynamic purchasing system. Suppliers considering the requirement when it returns would need credible technical capability in asbestos analysis and associated asbestos-removal support, with the capacity to deliver specialist services in a nuclear restoration environment. The awarded supplier and the recorded exclusion of SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations indicate that the buyer selected an established provider able to undertake a substantial requirement. Businesses outside those organisation categories may find this type of work more relevant if they can demonstrate comparable technical expertise, operational capacity and experience supporting complex asbestos-related programmes.
