UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited focuses on the decommissioning of the electrical distribution system at Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactor sites, specifically with reference to the AGR Unique Ref. 1 Project & Decon. This procurement falls under the category of works, concentrating on electrical installation work, and is located in the United Kingdom, with specific reference to regions UKD61 (Warrington) and UKF14 (Nottingham). The procurement method was a direct award, which was initiated in response to the transfer of ownership from EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited. The award stage is pending as of 16th February 2026, with a contract period set from 1st April 2026 through to 31st May 2028. A milestone signature due date is scheduled for 27th February 2026, and the standstill period concludes on 25th February 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in electrical installation work, particularly for those capable of handling large-scale decommissioning projects. Given the direct award method and the substantial contract value of £16,800,000, primarily involving works above the threshold, this tender is highly suited to major engineering firms or those specialising in nuclear site operations. As demonstrated by Dalkia Engineering Limited's involvement, businesses that already have a foothold in the nuclear industry and possess the technical capability to meet rigorous regulatory standards would be best suited to engage with similar opportunities arising from Nuclear Restoration Services Limited's ongoing procurement needs.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Decommissioning Site Electrical Distribution System (AGR Unique Ref. 1 Project & Decon)

Notice Description

Procurement record to allow the publication of UK5 Transparency Notice for the Contract being novated from EDF. The transparency notice Contract value is based on the maximum contract extention 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 Engineering 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 Engineering 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 Decommissioning Site Electrical Distribution System 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 Engineering Limited is neither an excluded or excludable supplier. A Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice will follow in accordance with Procurement Act 2023.
