Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, involved the direct awarding of a contract for the supply of a Radio Frequency Welding 1000 Unit. The buying organisation operates from Risley, Warrington, and acts under the classification of a sub-central government public authority. The procurement, identified under tender ID C25826, falls within the goods category, specifically focusing on welding equipment. The procurement method utilised was direct, without competition due to its below-threshold status. Key dates include the contract's signing on 28th May 2025, with the contract period running from 29th May 2025 to 29th August 2025, potentially extending to 30th January 2026 if needed. The tender has reached the award stage, with DMS Nuclear of Fareham, Hampshire, selected as the supplier.

This procurement presents an opportunity primarily for businesses in the manufacturing and supply of welding equipment. Companies that can efficiently supply complex and technical goods, particularly in the subsector relevant to nuclear servicing, might find growth opportunities here. While the contract was directly awarded without competition, similar opportunities can arise for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like DMS Nuclear, who can offer specialised products with a capacity for potential extensions and ongoing supply needs. Engaging with such contracts can enhance a business's portfolio, credibility, and experience in public-sector contracts, serving as a stepping stone to further public procurement efforts.
