The competitive tender process was conducted using an open procurement method, with all services provided under lot 1 classified under the industry category of toxic substances and radiation protection. This procurement, awarded to Bureau Veritas UK Ltd with a contract value of £205,380, covers a period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031, focusing primarily on services associated with scientific support for operational incidents across the designated regions in the United Kingdom.
