Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS), a subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, was for the "Project Controls & Commercial Services Bridging Contract" within the services industry category. Located in the UK, specifically in the UKK1 region, the procurement aimed to support the decommissioning of nuclear sites. The process, tagged under "award" and "contract," was completed by 18th November 2025. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its nature falling outside the EU directive scope. Turner and Townsend Cost Management Limited were appointed as the supplier through a direct award, facilitated under the CCS Framework, for a contract value of £16.5 million.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the nuclear decommissioning and project management sectors, particularly those with expertise in project planning, cost engineering, and quantity surveying services. Companies that can deliver high-quality service with robust technical merit and account management capabilities would find this contract conducive to business growth. With an evolving demand profile and the potential for procurement under new strategic directions following reviews and framework updates, businesses that can adapt to fluctuating service demands and offer comprehensive project controls and commercial resourcing will be well-positioned to thrive.
