UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, acting as the buyer, for the provision of a Modular Containment System, known as ModuCon. This contract focuses on delivering contamination control services during the Post Operational Clean Out (POCO) operations at Harwell. Located in Warrington, UK, the procurement falls under the industry category of modular and portable buildings and is facilitated through a direct award to Nuvia Limited. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the contract period set from 13th July 2026 to 30th January 2027. The procurement process follows regulations under the UK Procurement Act 2023, justified by technical reasons where competition is limited, and no viable alternatives are available. The award is valued at £400,000 GBP.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in modular construction and portable system solutions, particularly those that can offer advanced containment systems for hazardous environments. Given the specialised nature of the requirement, businesses with expertise in delivering custom engineering solutions in the nuclear sector, especially those capable of ensuring safety and regulatory compliance, would be well-suited to compete in such procurements. The direct appointment of Nuvia Limited underscores the necessity of meeting high technical standards, an area where businesses with similar capabilities can find substantial market potential.
