Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "Tritium Monitoring Services" was conducted by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on environmental monitoring not related to construction. The tender has reached the award stage, with a contract notice published on 19th November 2025, following a direct award procurement method due to the specialist technical nature of the service required. The contract is set to start on 12th January 2026, with an optional extension until January 2030, and the standstill period concludes on 28th November 2025. The procurement task involves monitoring Tritium and C-14 at Harwell, specifically in various ventilation and operational areas.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring services, particularly those capable of providing niche solutions for tritium and C-14 monitoring. SMEs like RCD Lockindge Ltd, which has been awarded this contract, demonstrate that smaller enterprises with specialised knowledge and capabilities are well-positioned to compete successfully. The direct award of this contract indicates that the market recognises a limited number of suppliers with the requisite expertise, providing an opportunity for businesses in the field to focus on niche technical capabilities to enhance competitiveness.
