Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Dragon Modular Shipments 25/26" was managed by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a public authority functioning under sub-central government in the UK. The process involves transporting Dragon Modular waste packages from Harwell to Sellafield and back, with an expected up to 22 shipments during the financial year 2025-2026. The tender fell under the industry category of services, specifically related to the transport of radioactive waste, and was completed without competition via a direct procurement method, being below the threshold. The contract, awarded to Sellafield Ltd on 16th July 2025 and active until 31st March 2026, has a gross value of £102,703.48.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for companies specialising in waste transport, particularly those with expertise in handling radioactive material. Businesses with a strong track record in environmental safety and compliance, especially large-scale service providers, are well-suited to compete in such niche contracts. Given the scale and specificity of the waste management services required, companies with established infrastructure and certifications for the transport of hazardous materials would find opportunities like these advantageous for expanding their portfolio in government contracts.
