Summary of the contracting process

Sellafield Limited, acting on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) Group, has completed a public procurement process for the provision of daily vehicle hire for business travel. The tender, which was classified under the industry category of business travel services (CPV 79997000), involves hiring vehicles for use in West Cumbria and other parts of the UK. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015, with the call-off contract awarded to Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited under the RM6265 framework. The procurement stage is now complete, and the contract was signed on 27 February 2025. Notably, this framework benefits several organisations within the NDA Group, including Nuclear Restoration Services Ltd, Nuclear Waste Services Limited, and the National Nuclear Laboratory.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle hire services, particularly those with the capacity to serve organisations involved in nuclear decommissioning and related activities. Companies that can provide reliable and cost-effective vehicle hire solutions will be well-positioned to compete in this space, especially given the extensive and ongoing transport requirements associated with the NDA Group’s operations. Additionally, businesses that demonstrate flexibility in service provision across various UK regions and maintain high service quality standards will find this an advantageous opportunity for growth.
