Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a body governed by public law based in Cumbria, UK, for the Radiological Testing of Nuclear Standard Elastomer project. It falls under the industry category of Research and Development services and related consultancy services. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically a call-off from an NDA framework without prior publication of a competition call. The primary service location is the UK, with the contract awarded on 23 February 2026. The procurement stage is at the award and contract phase, with the status marked as complete.

This tender represents a strategic business opportunity for companies specialising in radiological testing and nuclear services. Large enterprises, like the awarded supplier AMENTUM CLEAN ENERGY LIMITED, based in Warrington, UK, are ideally positioned to leverage their expertise in technical quality, which comprised 80% of the award criteria. While the bid statistics show participation from two bidders, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) did not bid, indicating potential growth areas where SMEs could cultivate capabilities to meet stringent technical and pricing demands in future tenders within this sector.
