Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process involves Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS), a public authority organisation situated in Warrington, UK, which has completed a direct award contract for facilities management services at Hunterston B in line with the UK's nuclear decommissioning programme. This procurement, categorised under services, involves the novation of an existing contract from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited to NRS. The procurement status is complete, marking a significant transition as NRS takes ownership of the Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor sites. The contract spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with Dalkia Facilities Limited, based in London, serving as the supplier. The direct award was justified under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, due to the critical role of services provided by Dalkia Facilities Limited.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the facilities management industry, particularly those with expertise in critical infrastructure services and capacity to handle large-scale operations. Firms specialising in compliance with regulatory, safety, and environmental standards will find this space conducive to expansion. Larger organisations similar to Dalkia Facilities Limited, with the capability to manage assets during complex decommissioning processes, are well-positioned to pursue future contracts as NRS progresses through established procurement processes post-novation. The nature of the direct award emphasises technical expertise and minimises regulatory risks, highlighting the importance of specialised skills within the nuclear sector.

Notice Title

HNB - Provision of Facilities Management Services

Notice Description

Provision of 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.
