Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Vault Retrieval & Packaging Drum Filling Trials" was led by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, United Kingdom. This contract, categorized under the "works" industry, specifically deals with fabrication work. The procurement method used was direct, operating below the threshold without competition. The award stage was completed on 25th June 2026, with the contract commencing on 29th June 2026 and set to conclude on 2nd October 2026, though it does have renewal options extending to 31st March 2027.
