Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process, managed by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, involves the provision of an Internal and Criticality Accident Dosimetry Service for the Dounreay Site. This contract falls within the services industry, specifically radiation protection services, and is geographically located in Warrington, United Kingdom. The procurement process is now at the award stage as of 4th November 2025, with a contract period to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2029. It was conducted through a direct award due to technical reasons that precluded competition, with Nuvia being the sole supplier capable of meeting the specific requirements.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in radiation protection services, particularly those equipped to handle technically demanding and highly specialised requirements. Companies already offering dosimetry services or those interested in expanding into nuclear safety services would find potential for growth. Although the direct award was necessitated by the unique technical capabilities of Nuvia, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions might find prospects in similar future tenders, especially those emphasising safety and technical precision in challenging environments.
