Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (Dounreay) has recently completed a procurement process to award contracts for safety case consultant services within the FCA Programme. This tender, classified under the industry category of "Safety consultancy services" (CPV code: 79417000), was conducted via a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contracts were awarded on 30th April 2026, with the contract period spanning from 27th April 2026 to 11th May 2028. The process took place in Scotland, focusing on the delivery location of KW14 7TZ, with the tender initially closing on 13th March 2026.

The awarded contracts offer substantial opportunities for businesses involved in safety consultancy services to engage in the nuclear sector, specifically those capable of handling comprehensive safety case evaluations and reviews. The tender was particularly suitable for established firms rather than SMEs or voluntary sector organisations (VCSEs), as evidenced by the successful suppliers: Abbott Risk Consulting Ltd, Mott MacDonald Ltd., and RPS Group Limited/RPS Consulting Group. Companies with strong expertise in safety risk management, compliance, and consultancy within high-stakes industries stand to benefit significantly from engaging in similar tenders to enhance their portfolio and forge long-term partnerships.
