Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves Magnox Limited, a subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, which has awarded a contract titled "Decontamination & Laundry Services". This procurement falls under the environmental decontamination services category and is situated in the UK, specifically covering all Magnox Sites. The contract was signed on 11th January 2022 and has been established through a limited procurement method without prior public competition. Magnox Ltd has determined that Unitech Services Group Ltd is the only supplier capable of fulfilling the complete scope of work. The total contract value is £20,800,000, and the contract duration might extend up to four years, with the possibility of an additional three years based on Magnox's requirements.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialised in environmental decontamination and laundry services to expand their operations within the nuclear sector. Given the exclusivity of the contract awarded to Unitech Services Group Ltd, potential competitors should be large and capable firms with the necessary accreditations in radiological protection and decontamination. Companies with experience in managing nuclear material and those compliant with Ionising Radiation Regulations (IRR17) are particularly well-suited to fulfil similar contracts that may arise in this highly specialised field.

Procurement Information

Magnox Ltd considers that there are no other suppliers in the UK market who are able to perform this full scope of works. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. This was demonstrated by no response to the VEAT issued in June 2021
