Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited procured facilities management services for Hunterston B, supporting the site during the transfer of responsibility for the Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor site from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited and its continuing decommissioning. The requirement covers facilities management activity at the Hunterston B site and is intended to support safe, secure and cost-effective nuclear decommissioning. It is a services procurement, classified under CPV 79993100 for facilities management services. The arrangement is a framework, with services to be called off as required. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited is the buying organisation and the work is delivered at Hunterston B.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. Nuclear Restoration Services Limited selected Dalkia Facilities Limited, with the award dated 16 December 2025. The direct award was justified on the basis that the services are critical to Hunterston B and changing supplier would create significant technical difficulties and unacceptable regulatory risks. The framework award is £8,000,000 excluding VAT and £9,600,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract is active. One completed lot was used, and evaluation was based on single-supplier technical reasons. Future requirements are to follow Nuclear Restoration Services Limited’s established procurement processes.

This award shows established demand from Nuclear Restoration Services Limited for facilities management at a nuclear decommissioning site, delivered through a framework and call-off arrangement. A future competitor would need a mature facilities management operation capable of supporting critical site services, maintaining continuity during major organisational and asset-transfer activity, and working within demanding nuclear regulatory, safety and environmental compliance requirements. The buyer’s stated rationale indicates that technical integration, operational familiarity and the ability to avoid disruption or regulatory risk are important differentiators. Suppliers with demonstrable experience of complex, safety-critical facilities management, suitable operational capacity and robust compliance controls would be better placed to compete when comparable requirements return to the market.

Notice Description

Facilities Management Services at Hunterston B

Procurement Information

As part of the UK's nuclear decommissioning programme, Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) will begin taking ownership of assets and the responsibility for the Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor (AGR) sites from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited (EDF). This transition, starting with Hunterston B in spring 2026, marks a key milestone in ensuring the continued safe, secure and cost-effective decommissioning of the UK's nuclear legacy. NRS is committed to transparency and collaboration throughout this transfer process, working closely with EDF, regulators and stakeholders to deliver a seamless transfer whilst maintaining the highest standards of regulatory, safety and environmental compliance. In line with this commitment, NRS therefore intends to make a direct award in accordance with Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 and wishes to advise that the existing EDF contract with Dalkia Facilities Limited, as detailed in this notice, is being novated to Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) as part of the AGR site transfer process. This is a direct award for the purposes of Procurement Act 2023 and is being made pursuant to Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023 NRS considers Paragraph 6 applies as the services provided by Dalkia Facilities Limited are critical to the ongoing operation of Hunterston B and it would create significant technical difficulties and unacceptable regulatory risks to NRS for another supplier to supply the Facilities Management Services at Hunterston B at this time. Following completion of this novated contract, all future requirements will be progressed through NRS's established procurement processes and in continued compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). Dalkia Facilities Limited is neither an excluded or excludable supplier. A Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice will follow in accordance with Procurement Act 2023. ** Please Note ** This is a framework and will be called off as and when required.
