Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), based in Cumbria, UK, is managing a procurement process titled "The provisions for services to collect, transport and process existing Sealed Radioactive Sources (SRS) using a pre-determined disposal route." The industry category for this tender is the "Disposal of radioactive waste" under CPV code 90521300. The procurement is in the tender update stage as of 7th January 2025, with significant amendments including the retraction of the contract award initially made to Transrad.
