Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Nuclear Restoration Services Limited as the contracting authority, seeking Design Engineering Support for EC&I Control Systems as part of the SGHWR decommissioning project. The most recent update was recorded on 14 January 2026, marking the project in the "award" stage, with CAPULA LIMITED selected as the supplier. Located in Warrington, United Kingdom, the procurement falls within the services industry category and was conducted via a direct award method due to the necessity of continuing services with the existing supplier, CAPULA LIMITED, to avoid technical incompatibilities. The contract's active period commenced on 5 January 2026 and will conclude on 31 March 2027, featuring a gross value of £780,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations. Large established firms, particularly those experienced in infrastructural engineering projects, will find themselves well-positioned to compete in this space. The direct award procurement method emphasises continuity and integration with existing systems, suggesting that firms with prior experience in nuclear decommissioning or similar industries will likely see substantial growth by successfully delivering on this contract. This process underscores the need for highly technical and specialised services, which can offer competitive advantages and robust business expansion avenues for qualified suppliers.
