Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process overseen by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), based in Cumbria, United Kingdom, involves acquiring services related to "HIP1 Equipment to make MOX Pellets" under the industry category of research and development services. This procurement process has progressed to the award stage, where the contract was signed on 22nd January 2026. The procurement method was limited, without a prior call for competition, as it was a call-off from an NDA Framework. The involved lot had been cancelled; however, the award was active, and the related supplier is the National Nuclear Laboratory, based in Warrington, United Kingdom.

This procurement offers specific opportunities for large-scale businesses specialised in research and development services, particularly those focusing on consultancy services within the nuclear sector. As the procurement method did not call for prior competition, businesses with existing relationships or frameworks with the NDA, such as those that can swiftly provide bespoke solutions without the lengthy procurement process, would be well-suited to compete. The awarded contract has a financial range between GBP 460,000 and GBP 563,123.58, presenting a significant potential growth opportunity for suppliers well-versed in technical and commercial aspects within the nuclear industry.
