Summary of the contracting process

The Integrated Site Works Framework (ISWF) is a public procurement initiative led by Nuclear Waste Services Limited, focusing on works in the construction and civil engineering category. Located in Drigg, Cumbria, the project is aimed at delivering site works, asset refurbishment, and infrastructure projects for the Low Level Repository (LLWR) Site. The process has progressed to the award stage, with a contract valued at £49.6 million awarded on 7th August 2025. An open procedure procurement method was employed, adhering to the GPA standards. The specific award was made to John Graham Construction Ltd, trading as GRAHAM, with the framework already operational from earlier activities.

This tender presents extensive opportunities for growth in the construction and civil engineering sectors, notably attracting large construction firms with expertise in site works and infrastructure refurbishment. Businesses with capabilities in civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, as well as demolition and environmental remediation, stand to benefit significantly. The framework also requires firms to handle complex design and build projects, offering ample scope for innovation and operational enhancement. It serves as a multidisciplinary vehicle, facilitating a wide range of activities at the LLWR site, thus promising ongoing project engagements and potential for expansion in specialised areas like asbestos handling and ground contamination management.
