Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, managed by Nuclear Waste Services Limited, pertains to the provision of Environmental Monitoring and Site Characterisation Lab Services in Cumbria. The contract, classified under the CPV code for Environmental monitoring other than for construction, has reached the award stage with Cavendish Nuclear as the awarded supplier. The procurement falls under a restricted procedure, indicative of a selective procurement method. The services are to be provided over a twelve-month period at Calderbridge, Cumbria, with the contract officially signed on 31st March 2025. Although the tender is now complete, it highlights significant procurement activity in the nuclear waste services industry.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for entities specialising in environmental monitoring services, particularly those experienced with public sector or nuclear decommissioning projects. The process adhered to an award criterion balancing technical quality (70%) and price (30%), suggesting that high technical standards are essential. Businesses positioned in the environmental services sector or those with capabilities in managing comprehensive site monitoring programmes could find such tenders advantageous, paving the way for involvement in future opportunities within the nuclear services domain. Though only one bid was received, this underscores a competitive landscape focused on large-scale, highly specialised companies like Cavendish Nuclear, yet leaves open possibilities for collaboration or subcontracting to SMEs.
