Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for which Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority in Warrington, United Kingdom, is seeking suppliers involves the provision of Pension Trustee Services. The tender aims to appoint two Pension Trustee Directors with investment expertise on their legacy Defined Benefits pension scheme and Corporate Trustee Board. This process is currently at the tender stage, having been initiated on 5th December 2025, with key dates including the enquiry period ending on 18th December 2025 and the deadline for expressions of interest set for 5th January 2026. The competitive flexible procedure consists of a three-stage process with non-negotiated terms under the selective procurement method, and it involves service provision valued at £925,000 before VAT. The contract will commence on 27th April 2026 and conclude on 27th April 2032.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for professional services firms specialising in pension services, particularly those with experience in investment within trustee settings. The process favours SMEs, providing them with an opportunity to access high-value contracts within a recognised government body. Firms that can demonstrate high-quality technical expertise and cost-effective commercial proposals stand a good chance, given the award criteria breakdown of 75% technical and 25% commercial. Engaging in this opportunity will not only allow suppliers to expand their portfolio within the pension trustee domain but also with a governmental buyer focused on strict procurement demands, thus enhancing their market reputation.
