Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, operating out of Warrington and Dounreay, has awarded a contract entitled "Reserved Procurement - Mild Steel Waste Cans" through an open, below-threshold competitive process. This procurement, specifically reserved for the County of Caithness, sought the supply of mild steel waste cans. The contract, which has been awarded to Gow's Lybster Limited and commenced on 12th December 2025, is set to conclude by 31st March 2026. The procurement process advanced from the tender stage, which was active as of March 2025, to the award stage completed by mid-December 2025, indicating a well-structured procurement timetable.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacture of waste drums or similar goods, especially those located in or near Caithness due to the location-specific reservation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those capable of meeting the open competition's criteria, stand to benefit from such projects. Companies that can offer efficient and high-quality production of mild steel waste containers will find this contract valuable for growth, particularly given its focus on a niche yet essential industrial category. The reserved condition further amplifies regional business opportunities, fostering local economic development.
