Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, UK, is involved in the procurement process for the 'SOW SGHWR Safety Case Support' contract, which aims to support safety case development for the SGHWR Demolition / Decommissioning project. The process of direct award procurement, under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework, relies on ABBOTT RISK CONSULTING LIMITED as the supplier for the services category of design support. The contract, active from 1 April 2026 until 30 November 2027, was signed on 31 March 2026. The opportunity exists within the decommissioning industry, providing services for deconstruction projects primarily located in the United Kingdom.

This procurement initiative offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in safety case development and decommissioning support, particularly for those capable of complying with engineering standards and high-level project delivery in complex environments. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise in design support services are well-positioned to engage in further procurements of a similar nature, benefiting from continuity of work and emerging scope within the nuclear restoration sector, facilitated through direct awards and partnership with established contractors.
