UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, based in Warrington, has finalised a procurement process for a contract titled "Provision of Facilities Management Services (AGR Unique Ref. 120 F/W)" in the services industry category. The procurement method was a direct award, in alignment with the Procurement Act 2023, and was awarded to Dalkia Facilities Limited, located in London. This contract supports the decommissioning of the Hunterston B site, with a contract period commencing on 1st April 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2027. A key deadline for finalising the documentation is scheduled for 18th January 2026. The value of the contract is £8,000,000, extending to a potential gross value of £9,600,000 should the maximum contract period be executed.

This procurement offers substantial business opportunities, specifically for large-scale facilities management providers capable of handling critical operational responsibilities at nuclear sites. The direct award approach was necessitated due to the technical complexities and risks associated with changing suppliers. Businesses adept in maintaining and ensuring regulatory compliance of similar high-security environments may find significant growth potential in such collaborations. Additionally, future procurement needs for ongoing nuclear decommissioning projects will continue to present opportunities in this sector as outlined in NRS's future plans.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Facilities Management Services (AGR Unique Ref. 120 F/W)

Notice Description

Procurement record to allow the publication of UK5 Transparency Notice for the Contract being novated from EDF - Facilities Management Services The transparency notice Contract value is based on the maximum contract extension period, therefore not a guaranteed value of spend.

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.
