Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Waste Services Limited is planning an upcoming tender titled "Inspection Services" within the Architectural, Construction, Engineering and Inspection Services industry category. This procurement, categorized under CPV 71000000, is set in Drigg, Old Shore Road, Holmrook, Cumbria, and aims to encompass comprehensive inspection services outside of their existing framework. The legislation governing this tender follows the CELEX 32014L0024 scheme. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date scheduled for 3rd March 2025. Interested suppliers must register for Category 12 (Quality) on the Business and Technical Services (BATS) Marketplace DPS via Atamis to participate, with an estimated contract value of £270,000 GBP.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth in businesses specialising in manufacturing quality oversight, including weld and magnetic particle inspections, and leak testing. Companies providing technical inspection services who aim to expand into the nuclear sector would find this tender particularly advantageous. The tender also seeks suppliers with capabilities to support continuous professional development and certification for NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) personnel. Suitable candidates will likely include firms experienced in industrial inspection, those who can adhere to stringent international inspection standards, and businesses already versed with the DPS registration process for public sector contracts in the UK.
