Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS) involves the "Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) SOW" contract, focusing on significant transformation in managing over 200,000 assets. Located in Warrington, UK, this contract underscores challenges tied to future missions, asset decommissioning, and enabling new plants. The procurement method was a direct award to DBD Ltd due to delays in finalising the original strategy via CCS RM6288. Both the "award" and "contract" stages have been completed with the contract scheduled from 11th September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with a permissible six-month extension. The procurement is governed by the UK Public General Acts 2023/54, and the procurement method rationale stresses the supplier's expertise in the nuclear decommissioning sector and digital solutions in asset management.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in asset management, digital transformation, and human resources management consultancy services, as classified under CPV code 79414000. Large enterprises with specialised knowledge in the nuclear sector, alongside SMEs that can support digital system integration, stand to benefit significantly. The project demands expertise in managing and transforming legacy systems into modern platforms, making it ideal for companies with a robust track record in tailored digital solutions and significant regulatory awareness. Engaging with this contract can provide business growth through strategic partnerships with a prominent public authority.

Notice Information

Notice Title

NRS Transformation - Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) SOW

Notice Description

NRS currently manages over 200,000 assets, with significant changes expected over the next decade due to future missions, asset decommissioning, and new enabling plants. The data workstream, a critical path in the EAM Transformation Programme, is significantly delayed, jeopardising timelines and benefit realisation. A key issue is the 12-month delay in piloting and selecting a Data Conditioning and Transformation Tool, which is essential for creating a coherent and consistent asset data set across the organisation. Additionally, there is a misalignment between the platform procurement award (May 2026) and the integrator going to market (June 2027), with the data workstream currently seen as the cause of this hold. The programme is now operating beyond the executive risk appetite, with delays impacting both interim and full benefits. A major challenge is the lack of clarity between the current (AS IS) and future (TO BE) asset data

Planning Information

The strategy and preferred option for this procurement was to utilise CCS RM6288 Statement of Work service line with AMS. However, the final contract signatures for the NDA Group under RM6288 is still outstanding. Given this delay, we are now exploring a direct engagement to secure the services.

Procurement Information

The original procurement strategy was to engage via the CCS RM6288 Statement of Work service line. However, due to delays in finalising contract signatures this was not possible. The supplier is a highly specialised provider in the UK nuclear decommissioning sector, with a strong track record supporting organisations like NDA, NWS, and Dounreay. Their deep sector knowledge, regulatory awareness, and ability to deliver tailored digital solutions especially in bridging legacy systems with modern platforms make them a strategic fit for NRS's evolving digital asset management needs.
