Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured a Principal Designer service for the removal of boilers at the Dungeness A site. The work supports the main contract for dismantling and removing the boilers, with the Principal Designer role covering design-related health and safety duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. The procurement is primarily associated with demolition, site preparation and clearance work, alongside specialist professional and consultative engineering and construction services. Delivery is at Dungeness A in Kent. The requirement was structured as a single lot and falls within the works category, although the award and contract describe the appointed service as professional consultancy. The buyer is a public authority responsible for nuclear restoration activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open competitive flexible procedure. Three bids reached the final stage, including two from small or medium-sized enterprises. The tender was assessed on technical quality at 70%, commercial considerations at 20% and social value at 10%. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and is active. C & D Demolition Consultants Limited was selected for the Principal Designer service. The active contract is valued at £1,374,544.08 gross. Its initial period runs from 5 August 2026 to 5 August 2032, with three optional one-year extensions potentially extending it to 5 August 2035. The work may be paused if the main boiler contract is significantly delayed.

This procurement indicates demand from Nuclear Restoration Services for specialist Principal Designer capability on a complex boiler-removal and demolition project. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience of design risk management and health and safety coordination under the CDM 2015 Regulations, together with practical understanding of demolition, site preparation and nuclear or similarly high-hazard infrastructure environments. The successful supplier combined demolition consultancy with professional engineering and construction advice, so relevant technical depth and the ability to support a major works contractor would be important. The evaluation shows that technical quality carried substantially more weight than commercial considerations, while social value also formed part of the assessment. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and two SMEs reached the final stage.
