Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited involves a tender titled "Deterministic Fire Risk Assessment Peer Review," focusing on auditing services within the nuclear decommissioning industry. This procurement, conducted through a limited method, was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, falling outside the directive's scope. Located at the NRS Dounreay Site, KW14 7TZ, the tender's sole lot, initially intended for peer review of the fire risk assessment methodology, was ultimately cancelled. Nevertheless, the contract was actively awarded to AMENTUM CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED on 18 February 2026, following a single electronic bid submission worth £24,560.32.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in nuclear safety and risk assessments. Companies with capabilities in reviewing complex risk assessment models and offering strategic improvements would find this contract beneficial for expanding their portfolio in the nuclear sector. Organisations like AMENTUM CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED, a large supplier in Warrington, exemplify the kind of business well-suited to undertake this project and contribute to ensuring robust compliance and accuracy in nuclear decommissioning processes.
