Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a public authority sub-central government organisation based in Warrington, UK, is planning a procurement process titled "Concrete and Grout Mixing Trials." This falls under the "works" category and involves carrying out trials to demonstrate the feasibility of using mobile mixers to produce concrete and grout for encapsulating nuclear waste.
