Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), based in Oxfordshire, has established the JDR Management Support Framework, an initiative aimed at strengthening its project delivery capabilities within the engineering sector across the UK. The framework seeks the participation of suppliers to embed resources on-site for business as usual activities, and it will initially run for four years, commencing on 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2030. The procurement process has transitioned from the planning to award stage, utilising an open procurement method and allowing for reopening competition among framework participants. The recent contract award was signed on 25th February 2026, establishing collaboration opportunities with several suppliers, including AtkinsRéalis and Assystem Energy & Infrastructure Limited, among others, with a total gross contract value of £11,880,000.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses within the engineering support services industry to be part of a strategic framework that facilitates the delivery of UKAEA’s mission. It provides participating organisations a chance to gain insight into the evolving global fusion community, fostering business growth and visibility within the public sector. The framework is specifically favourable for large-scale companies capable of delivering technical resources and services outlined within the contract's scope. Organisations that successfully secure a position within such frameworks can leverage this platform to participate in "mini-competitions" and direct awards, posing potential growth avenues through continued collaboration and performance excellence. The visible social value and commitment to environmental sustainability further enhance the attractiveness of this framework for organisations prioritising these corporate objectives.

Notice Information

Notice Title

JDR Management Support Framework.

Notice Description

UKAEA seeks to establish a framework of partner(s) who will be able to augment and strengthen UKAEA's resource pool of Project Delivery Professionals. This framework will enable partnered suppliers to support delivery of UKAEA's mission from wholly embedded positions within the UKAEA teams. Proposals are requested from potential suppliers (who may be a single organisation or consortia or joint venture) who wish to partner with UKAEA in delivering our mission. This requirement focusses on embedded on-site resource for BAU activities with open ended task-based requirements, UKAEA would seek to secure a minimum of 1 off and a maximum of 5 off suppliers per identified Lot within the framework. It is envisaged that, once established, the framework will operate by UKAEA providing the framework suppliers (by lot) an overview of a given requirement and its key constraints, and framework suppliers for that lot having the opportunity to then undertake a "mini competition" to fulfil the requirement. For smaller assignments, a provision is provided within the framework for direct contract award Lots are described in more detail in subsequent sections of this document. UKAEA aspires to this framework providing a mutually beneficial partnership which both aids delivery of the UKAEA mission and provides partners with a valuable insight into the rapidly expanding global fusion community. The framework will be established initially for a four-year period.
