Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory Limited (UKNNL), involves a contract titled "Servicing and Maintenance of Ametek Ortec Equipment." This falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services of measuring, testing, and checking apparatus. The locations involved are various UKNNL sites across the UK, with the main delivery region being UKD. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the contract awarded on 10 February 2026. The main contractor, Ametek (GB) Limited, will engage in servicing activities with a contract effective from 20 February 2026, running until 19 February 2027, with the option for annual renewals until 2031. The procurement method used is a direct award due to Ametek's unique technical capabilities as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

This tender offers significant opportunities for firms specialising in high-precision equipment servicing and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in handling OEM-exclusive repairs. Businesses capable of adapting to dynamic operational needs may find growth prospects given the flexibility allowed for contract adjustments, such as including or excluding equipment. The substantial contract value of £463,747.46 and the potential for extension further enhance the appeal for companies looking to establish or expand their footprint in the nuclear equipment maintenance domain. Large-scale organisations, in particular, may benefit from engaging in a long-term partnership under this procurement framework.
