Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, a central government public authority located in Cumbria, United Kingdom, is planning a procurement process for travel management services titled "NDA Group & UKNNL Business Travel" spanning from 2030 to 2034. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage as of 24th April 2026. The selective procurement method will be used, with awards made under an existing framework. The competitive tender falls under the services category, with a projected gross value of £50 million. The tender process is expected to cater particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the procurement will be above the threshold, requiring bidders to engage with a formal procurement process.
