Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has completed a procurement process for Digital ID and third-party verification services, intended to support prospective employment within the NDA Group. The contract, valued at £17,379.60 excluding VAT, has been awarded under a direct procurement method, without competition, given it falls below the established threshold. The procurement stage has progressed to the award phase, with the contract officially signed on 2nd December 2025 and expected to commence on 1st April 2026, spanning until 31st March 2028. The Authority, based in Moor Row, Cumbria, operates within the public authority - central government category, and the procurement falls under security services within the United Kingdom region.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in security and digital identification services, particularly those capable of performing third-party verifications effectively. As the procurement has been finalised with Credas Technologies Ltd, a large supplier based in Cardiff Bay, businesses of similar capacities and service offerings could consider this as an entry point to secure future work within central government contracts. The 12-month extension options embedded in the contract further enhance the prospect for continued engagement with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, presenting lucrative opportunities for companies with expertise in the specified service category.
