Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has completed the procurement process for the construction work titled "UKAEA Culham Campus LiBRTI Building". This project, located at Culham Campus in Oxfordshire, falls under the industry category of construction work and pertains to the main procurement category 'works'. The contract, awarded on 30th January 2026, was initiated through a selective, restricted procedure, indicating that a limited number of suppliers were invited to tender. The award phase has been recently concluded, with McLaughlin & Harvey Limited named as the successful supplier. Although the lot concerning the design and build aspect was cancelled, McLaughlin & Harvey Limited will undertake the work, contributing to the region designated as UKJ14.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the construction sector, especially those capable of providing enhanced technical and social value, as these elements carried equal weight alongside pricing criteria. Companies equipped to handle large-scale projects, similar to McLaughlin & Harvey Limited, can find significant growth avenues. Additionally, businesses specialising in design and build, and those that can fulfil subcontracting needs, will find this type of procurement advantageous as it emphasises both quality and competitiveness in pricing. Such contracts could foster business expansion within the United Kingdom, particularly in infrastructure development linked to science and technology-focused campuses.
