Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Warrington, United Kingdom, has recently concluded a procurement process for the supply of Stainless Steel Drums with Gaitor Attachment. The contract, titled "Reserved Procurement - Stainless Steel Drums with Gaitor Attachment," commenced on 15 November 2025 and will run until 31 March 2026. The procurement process, labelled under an open competition method below the threshold, involved a carefully managed tender stage with critical deadlines in April 2025 for enquiries and submissions. The procurement focused on the goods category, specifically waste drums, and was geographically reserved to benefit suppliers within Caithness, UKM61 region.

This tender creates substantial business opportunities for suppliers involved in manufactured goods suited to the nuclear industry, offering growth potential through collaborations with established public authorities like Nuclear Restoration Services. Small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly those focusing on manufacturing or supply of steel-based products, would be well-suited to compete, benefiting from both the financial investment and potential expansion into public sector networks. The award to Gow's Lybster Limited, a supplier recognised as an SME, underscores the competitive nature and growth prospects within specialised manufacturing sectors. Business entities with capabilities in inspection, testing, and delivery within regulatory frameworks, adhering to location-based qualifications, stand a promising chance to leverage such contracts.
