Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS), an operating company of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), is planning a procurement process titled "Supply of Metrology Instruments" within the meteorological instruments category. This project is currently in the planning stage, with the primary aim of replenishing ageing and obsolete equipment across multiple UK sites involved in nuclear decommissioning and environmental restoration. The procurement will be executed through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) intended to be established for five years. The Selection Questionnaire (SQ) is anticipated for release in September 2024, and the DPS is expected to be operational by April 2025. The DPS will cover both portable and installed metrology instruments such as Portable Radiation Monitors, Anemometers, and Gamma Spectrometers, among others.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of metrology and related instruments. Companies that can deliver high-quality, reliable instruments to support nuclear site decommissioning will find this tender particularly attractive. The DPS structure allows suppliers to qualify in one or both categories (portable and installed), facilitating a broader participation across different specialisations. Businesses that can navigate the selection process and meet the stringent requirements of the Nuclear Restoration Services stand to gain from long-term procurement contracts and potential inclusion in future decommissioning projects. The use of the Atamis procurement system and NEC 4 Terms and Conditions ensures a transparent and systematic approach, enhancing business growth potential for compliant suppliers.
