Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is initiating a procurement process for the calibration and maintenance of portable radiological instruments, set to cover all NRS sites and potential additional sites acquired through AGR transfers from EDF. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically engineering and calibration services, and is positioned at the planning stage. The contract is valued at £19,920,000 with a gross amount of £16,600,000 and is flagged as being above the procurement threshold. Key dates include a supplier questionnaire response deadline on 12 March 2026 via the Atamis Portal and a planned contract period commencing on 1 April 2027 through 31 March 2031, with a possible extension until 31 March 2035. Interested small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this opportunity particularly suitable, and a future notice is expected on 10 June 2026.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for growth within the nuclear restoration industry, particularly for SMEs capable of delivering specialised engineering and calibration services. Businesses that specialise in portable radiological instruments or have existing experience in handling engineering services around nuclear sites will be well-suited to compete. The expansive contract period and potential for renewal provide long-term collaboration possibilities. With the coverage extending across multiple sites, companies with regional operational capabilities in the United Kingdom will be able to leverage their local presence for efficient service delivery.
