Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS) is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Characterisation Services Framework. This initiative, set to commence in early 2025, focuses on waste analysis services within the UK, specifically targeting the physical, chemical, and radiochemical properties of wastes and materials. The framework will be divided into four lots: Analytical Laboratory Services, Fingerprint Services, Laboratory Services, and Additional Characterisation Services, supporting both NRS and potentially other NDA operational companies. Key CPV codes include analysis services, technical analysis or consultancy services, and laboratory services. Interested businesses should monitor the Contracts Notice expected by 31 January 2025 for detailed participation instructions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in laboratory analysis, technical consulting, and other characterisation services. Companies specialising in waste analysis, particularly those capable of handling hazardous and radioactive materials, will be well-positioned to compete for these contracts. The multi-lot structure allows both single and multiple providers to offer their services, opening avenues for collaboration and niche service provision. Participation in this framework could lead to substantial business growth, providing sustained work in a crucial industry sector underpinning nuclear decommissioning and waste management operations.
