Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, based in Cumbria, UK, is conducting a preliminary market engagement (PME) for potential procurement opportunities related to the replacement of services under the existing contract for 'Provision of Records Management and Archiving, Security and Facilities Management Services'. This planned procurement is for the NDA Archives Limited and falls under the service category. Stakeholders and interested parties are invited to participate in a webinar scheduled for 25th June 2026 at 11:00 to discuss the opportunity and contribute to the Request for Information process. The due date for engagement is set for 10th July 2026. This procurement process is at the planning stage and is above the threshold value of GBP 45 million, with a total estimated gross value of GBP 54 million. The delivery regions include UKM61, UKD11, and UKD61. The procurement method focuses on services such as records management, transport services excluding waste transport, project management consultancy services, security services, and facilities management services.

This procurement opportunity presents substantial potential for business growth, particularly for companies specializing in records management, security services, and facilities management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are especially encouraged to participate, considering the suitability criteria. The procurement process includes provisions for contract renewal, offering a potential long-term engagement, with the initial contract period planned from July 2029 to June 2032, extendable until June 2034. Companies with expertise in managing large-scale service contracts and those capable of delivering integrated solutions across the specified regions stand to gain significantly from securing this contract, thus enhancing their portfolio and expanding their business reach.
